The head of the opposition National Unity party says “despite the provocative and irresponsible rhetoric by some, Israel is committed to preserving this historic status and has no intention on changing it”.
“The freedom of worship will always be guaranteed at the holy site,” he added in a post on X.
Gantz said he expects little from PM Netanyahu “who allowed an irresponsible arsonist to bring us down into an abyss in exchange for political peace”, apparently referring to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
“But there are responsible parties in the government and coalition who are expected to do something,” he stressed, adding: “Condemnations and nice words won’t suffice here, and history will judge you for being part of this dangerous endeavor.”
Ben Gvir said earlier that Jews can pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque and he would build a synagogue in it, according to the Israeli media.
