Hamas's attempts to take over control of the Temple Mount as well as
spread its ideology and recruit new members in Jerusalem have been
foiled by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), a senior security
official announced Monday.

According to officials, Hamas has invested millions of shekels in
recent years in Jerusalem charities and religious institutions, as
well as in construction on the Temple Mount, in an effort to recruit
Israeli Arab residents of Jerusalem into its ranks, thus bolstering
its presence in the capital.

The official said Hamas had taken advantage of the Jordanian Wakf,
which is responsible for the holy site. The Wakf has been suffering
from financial constraints since 2000, when the Temple Mount mosques
were closed to visitors.

Now if only the State of Israel's leaders will be Jewish enough to take control of the Temple Mount away from the Wakf and place it firmly and irrevocably in Jewish hands...

In order to do that, the government would have to make public that the Temple Mount Waqf had violated its agreements with Israel. The Israeli and Jereusalem electorate already know that, of course, but the rest of the world does not. However, I think that the present government has no stomach for the confrontations and street rioting that would probably follow.
