(ISRAEL365 NEWS) — Israeli Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai warned on Thursday that Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman and other Temple Mount activists could spark a new war with the Palestinians by performing the Biblical commandment of blowing a shofar in Jerusalem.
Sources told Haaretz that Shabtai called Rothman’s mitzvah a “provocation for its own sake, purely to inflame the area,” adding that “what he’s doing will lead us to the second Guardian of the Walls,” adding that Jews blowing the shofar in that section of Jerusalem could “ignite the Middle East.”
Guardian of the Walls was an IDF operation in response to Hamas and Islamic Jihad firing over 4,360 from Gaza, targeting Israeli centers of population. The Hamas attacks were accompanied by Palestinian violence in Israeli cities including Jerusalem, Akko, and Jaffa.
