The police oppose opening the Temple Mount to Jews on Shabbat, contrary to the position of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. ynet has learned that the police formulated a professional opinion against the move, against the backdrop of a petition to the High Court filed in September by Temple Mount activists. Ben Gvir appealed to Prime Minister Netanyahu to advance the change, arguing it would strengthen governance and sovereignty. The police, however, determined that the existing arrangement should not be altered.
