How to Get Erdogan Off the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - Tens of millions of dollars have been funneled from Turkey to mosques, religious organizations, and dozens of projects in and around the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in recent years. Turkey supplied the funds to refurbish the Muslim cemetery on the eastern slope of the Temple Mount, to replace the crescent at the top of the Dome of the Rock, and to rebuild a storehouse of Ottoman documents on the Mount, among other projects. The best way to fight Turkish President Erdogan, who is hostile to Israel and trying to buy influence in Jerusalem, is to continue to expose Turkey's ties to Hamas. For years, Turkey has served as a haven for Hamas terrorists and commanders, and terror attacks have been initiated and directed from Turkish territory. Dozens of Hamas cells handled from Turkey have been exposed over the past few years.
