The Israeli police have appealed the decision of a Jerusalem court that granted human rights activist, Rabbi Yehuda Glick, permission to once again go up to the Temple Mount.
The police also asked permission to prevent Glick from going up until they receive an answer to their appeal, according to a YNet report.
The police claim, Glick’s “going up to the Temple Mount could lead to riots and a public safety risk.”
The soft-spoke Rabbi miraculously survived an Arab assassination attempt in October last year in Jerusalem, when he was shot four times at close range.
Glick’s primary source of income is working as a tour guide on the Temple Mount.
Unfortunately, the police would prefer to prevent Glick from working and entering the Temple Mount, than dealing with the Muslim instigators that harass him and other Jewish visitors to the Jewish people’s holiest site.
