Knesset speaker: Lawmakers visiting Temple Mount must avoid provocations

Lawmakers visiting the Temple Mount in Jerusalem ‎must avoid provocations at the volatile site, Knesset ‎Speaker Yuli Edelstein instructed Thursday. ‎

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin ‎Netanyahu – who in 2015, at the height of a ‎Palestinian wave of terrorism, barred Jewish and ‎Arab lawmakers from visiting the Temple Mount – ‎lifted the restriction. ‎

Netanyahu informed Edelstein of the change in policy ‎on Wednesday, prompting the Knesset speaker to ask ‎parliament's chief security officer, Maj. Gen. ‎Yosef Griff, to brief ‎ministers and MKs on the ‎regulations concerning ‎visits to the site.‎

‎"As one who has always supported allowing lawmakers ‎to visit the Temple Mount, we must implement this ‎decision without delay," Edelstein said. ‎

He urged MKs to follow regulations, which state ‎that lawmakers seeking to visit the holy site must ‎inform the Knesset Speaker's Office of their ‎intention 24 hours ahead of time, so as to allow it to ‎coordinate the visit with the Jerusalem District Police.‎

Griff cautioned MKs that violating the directive ‎could result in "unpleasant consequences."‎
