Rising Tensions on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's old city of Jerusalem

After repeated rounds of violence on the Temple Mount in the Old city of Jerusalem, in which Arab youths clashed with Israeli police forces, Palestinian worshipers claim that the Jewish state is trying to divide the premise into two parts; one for Jewish worshipers and the other for Muslims.

Israel’s stressed that the Palestinian allegations are groundless asserting its commitment to maintaining the status quo in the holy site.

Guests Dr. Mordechai Kedar, Bar Illan University & Research Fellow at the Ben Sadat Center for strategic Studies; and Dr. Reuven Berko, Former Police Advisor on Arab Affairs – Jerusalem.
