(Times of Israel) An Arab member of Knesset warned on Friday evening that “the whole Arab world will rise up as one” against Israel if the government does not remove metal detectors it installed at entrances to the Temple Mount compound following a terror attack there on July 14.
Osama Saadi, of the Joint (Arab) List, said in a Channel 2 interview that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “playing with fire” by maintaining the upgraded security measures that were introduced after last week’s attack, in which three Arab-Israelis shot dead two Israeli police officers using guns they had smuggled into the holy site.
Saadi was speaking amid reports that at least three Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli security forces during protests in Jerusalem and the West Bank on Friday afternoon.
