A new confrontation is brewing between National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and the police, this time concerning the Temple Mount. According to a report by Liran Tamari, the police are formulating a professional opinion that opposes the minister's demand to allow Jewish visits to the Temple Mount on Saturdays, which deviates from current visiting arrangements.

However, the police are reportedly hesitant about the proposed change, and the developing opinion is expected to reflect professional opposition to the move.
