Netanyahu: Extremists Are Spreading Lies about Temple Mount to Cause Riots
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Thursday of attempts to heat up the situation on the Temple Mount. "We know that there are attempts, even now, to change the downward trend in the number of [Palestinian terror] attacks. There are attempts, even now, to try to renew the agitation and violence, especially around Pesach and the Temple Mount, as we experienced earlier [in October] during the High Holidays." Netanyahu said that as the Pesach holiday is approaching, extremists are "spreading lies" about the Temple Mount to cause riots. "There is no change in our policy regarding the status quo on the Temple Mount," he said.
