"Far-right Israeli Minister Asserts Control During Visit to Temple Mount"
Three Likud members of the Knesset, along with two members of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, ascended the Temple Mount, leading to condemnation from Arab countries. The Likud party is becoming more radical, with no major differences of opinion between some senior Likud members and those of Otzma Yehudit. The left is shifting to the center, which itself is leaning right, while the right is becoming national-religious. The Temple Mount is the holiest site for Jews and the third holiest shrine in Islam, turning the area into a major source of tension in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
