It is “the right of every Jew to visit” the Temple Mount. “Whoever believes in tolerance and coexistence, should support that.”

Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan pushed back against international condemnation of Internal Security Minister Itamar’s visit to the Temple Mount on Tuesday.

The Mount is Israel’s holiest site and Islam’s third holiest. Ben-Gvir ascended on what was the Hebrew date of the 10th of the month of Tevet, a Jewish fast day commemorating the events that led to the destruction of the Holy Temple by the Babylonians.

“Jewish tradition holds that the Temple Mount will be a place of peace and coexistence, as Isaiah prophesied. While it is sadly not yet a house of prayer for all nations, it’s still the right of every Jew to visit. Whoever believes in tolerance and coexistence, should support that,” Erdan stated.
