Contrary to guidelines: Former MK prayed for Neriah Leiter's recovery on Temple Mount - and was banned for six months

Former MK Yehuda Glick was banned from the Temple Mount for six months after being recorded reciting a prayer aloud for the recovery of Neriah Leiter, son of Israel's ambassador to Washington who was seriously injured in a stabbing attack. Police determined he violated the site's conduct rules, and following a hearing, Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Avshalom Peled ordered the ban, citing prevention of serious harm to security.

Former MK Yehuda Glick was banned from the Temple Mount for six months by Jerusalem District Commander Superintendent Avshalom Peled. The ban came after Glick was recorded reciting a prayer aloud during a visit to the site for the recovery of Neriah Leiter, son of Israel's ambassador to Washington who was seriously injured in a stabbing attack. Police determined the prayer violated the site's conduct rules, and that Glick prayed with tourists. Glick, known as an activist for Jewish ascent and freedom of worship on the Mount, routinely receives exclusion orders from the site due to similar past violations. The current ban was justified as preventing "serious harm to life and property."
