MK Glick visits Temple Mount for first time since being sworn into office

None

MK Yehuda Glick (Likud) visited the Temple Mount on Tuesday morning for the first time since being sworn into office.

 

In October 2015, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu barred members of Knesset from entering the complex due to the ongoing wave of terror attacks.

 

Glick was allowed to return to the Temple Mount Tuesday as part of a pilot program in which the Knesset's security officer approves MKs' requests to visit the holy site after coordinating their visit with police.

 

Later, MK Shuli Mualem (Bayit Yehudi) is also expected to visit the Temple Mount.
