MK Regev told Haaretz newspaper “I don’t understand why a Jew is not allowed to pray in the most sacred place for him the Temple Mount.” MK Michal Roisin, from the leftist Meretz Party, condemned Regev’s comments in a statement on Wednesday, warning that an appearance by Regev at (the Temple Mount) with the intention of clearing the way for Jews to pray there could ignite a “third intifada.” “This is a perverse attempt and a cynical use of religion for political purposes” said Roisin. She added: “The government operates on an internal contradiction– on the one hand, it claims to adhere to the outline of two states for two peoples; and on the other hand, initiatives like this one by MK Regev hinder the process of negotiating.” The Meretz MK called on the government to immediately stop such initiatives and warned that it was just such an initiative by former prime minister Ariel Sharon in 2000 that ignited the second intifada.
