Israeli Lawmakers Discuss Preparation for Access to 3rd Temple
(Worthy News) – On Tuesday, Member of Knesset Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the Religious Zionist Party, held a session in the Knesset concerning the dire condition of the Mughrabi Bridge used by Jews to ascend to the Temple Mount. The meeting went on to discuss how Jewish visitation to the site could be encouraged. The meeting came one week before Tisha B’Av (the ninth day of the month of Av), the day commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temples.
“The issue of ascending to the Temple Mount has to be at the top of the priorities for the Nation of Israel,” Religious Zionist MK Simcha Rothman said at the beginning of the meeting. “Already for many years, it characterizes our connection to the land of Israel in many ways.”
“This is a safety issue but it is more than a safety issue,” Rothman said. “This is a national issue. We returned to our land. We returned with the famous expression [in 1967] of ‘the Temple Mount is in our hands.’ But this has to come to reality. Arriving at the Temple Mount must be central and not on the sidelines. This has to be an important aspect of our national infrastructure. [How can] the entrance to the Temple Mount [be] a temporary structure? We returned to our land. We need to think about how people will go to the Temple Mount once the Temple is rebuilt. It may not be an immediate need since it will take a day or two to build it.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
