The Israeli government of Naftali Bennett is still weakening. The United Arabic list (LAU), a small Islamic-Conservative party led by Mansour Abbas, announced that it “froze” its participation in the coalition, Sunday, April 17 at night. It protests against the police repression in progress in Al-Aqsa, the third holy place of Islam, of which no one guesses the end.
The defiance gesture of these four parliamentarians (out of 120) does not threaten the coalition, in power since June 2021. Parliament is at the judgment until May 8. This leaves the Lau time to negotiate his return. However, this Arab party, the first to take part in the power in the history of Israel, arouses an unprecedented dilemma. If the rupture persists, the opposition would have a majority of 64 seats, enough to dissolve the Parliament and provoke the fifth elections in three years.
Sunday evening, it is the members of the religious council chapoiring the bu who launched this shot of seonce. These dignitaries wish to show their followers that they retain an influence. They spoke then that Al-Aqsa’s mosque had been transformed into a real fort, in the morning, by a group of Palestinians who intended to defend the holy places against Jewish extremists.
Barricaded inside the building, they shot for several hours at regular intervals, from the firecrackers against the Israeli police, which encircled them. These projectiles produced small clouds of smoke, colorful sparks around police officers who were imperturbable. Some robbed their weapons to broken windows, waiting for one of the besieged to pass the head. But they did not give the assault.
“We did not have time to pray”
If the police thus unfolded on the esplanade of the mosques, it was to let the tourists and the Jewish faithful pass, visiting what is for them the Temple Mount, after the closing of the weekend Pascal . In recent years, these activists have broken the current status quo, which allows the Jews to visit Mount, but not to pray. Escorted and protected by the police, they pray every day in normal times, and study at length near the golden door. It is a challenge to the main Jewish religious authorities, who prohibit their highly flammable devotions.
According to the police, the Palestinian besieged tries to block, at dawn, the passage of these visitors to the door of the Maghreb, on which leads a wranching wood bridge that spans the wall of the lamentations, vestige of the second temple . To allow their coming, she repelled, sometimes violently, the Muslim faithful on the esplanade. She also forbade a time to those who were in the old town to penetrate the holy places, through two main doors. She finally cut the loudspeakers of the mosque, after the besieged ones made a call to the faithful to join them.
