Police have banned former Member of Knesset Yehuda Glick from the Temple Mount for a period of six months. The order, served to Glick, states its purpose is to prevent "serious harm to life or property." Glick claims the ban was issued because he offered a prayer for the recovery of Neriah Leiter, son of Israel's Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter, who was injured in an attack.
Glick, a prominent Temple Mount activist, criticized the police's actions, stating he has ascended the Temple Mount for 40 years and always followed instructions. He described the police as "chasing me with malice and wickedness, for no wrongdoing." Glick noted this is the third consecutive year he has received a ban order before the Sukkot holiday, a time when he conducts many tours of the site.
He also directed criticism at the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, asserting that this phenomenon has occurred in recent years under his leadership. "These people hurt me far more than the man who tried to assassinate me hurt me. Truly, how much evil can one swallow?" Glick wrote. He concluded by expressing his resolve, "And after all this, I raise my hands to God Almighty and pledge that they will not succeed in breaking me. May I endure."
