Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir arrived at the Temple Mount Monday in response to the police's refusal to admit MK Amichai Chikli, with the claim that he didn't notify them 24 hours in advance of his arrival and police physically blocked his entrance.
"I will reach the Temple Mount at 1:30 p.m. The police must uphold the language of the law and allow Knesset members to enter the Temple Mount," he had tweeted. Ben-Gvir said the actions of the police were a disgrace, when they "behaved in an opaque and illegal manner, claiming that there is a procedure that must be coordinated.""I will coordinate with the Knesset officer already today, but in fact, the police have created classes among Knesset members. Tibi is allowed and I am not," Ben-Gvir said. "In any case, I will continue to fight for our sovereignty on the Temple Mount and ensure that every Jew who wishes to come to the holiest in Judaism may do so," he concluded.
