Those seeking to take advantage of the "Fear of Ben-Gvir", warning against Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount, have simply forgotten that such prayers have been taking place there with police authorization for five years. This is how they are trying to perpetuate the historical distortion.
Even though MK Itamar Ben-Gvir has yet to be officially appointed as public security minister, MKs from the incoming opposition are already busy trying to topple him. They are giving advance warning of what is likely to happen on the Temple Mount if the head of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party does assume the role, with their chief concern being the potential nightmare of the government possibly deciding to permit Jewish prayers on the Mount.
