Ben Gvir said to postpone planned Temple Mount visit after sitting down with Netanyahu [1]

[]

Date: 2023-01

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly speaks with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir about the latter’s intention to visit the flashpoint Temple Mount holy site, which could draw violent reactions from Palestinians.

The Ynet news site says Ben Gvir has subsequently said he won’t make the visit in the coming weeks, but told Netanyahu “we mustn’t cave to Hamas” after the terror group issued threats over the matter.

The Walla news site quotes Ben Gvir associates saying he is still determined to make the visit soon, adding that Netanyahu didn’t ask him to nix the plan entirely.
