first term as prime minister in the 1990\u2019s was the opening of the Western Wall tunnels.\u00a0 The Western Wall tunnels had been opened to the public since the 1980\u2019s, but the inauguration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/archives\/la-xpm-1996-09-25-mn-47381-story.html\">Netanyahu presided over in 1996<\/a> was the section that ends in the Muslim Quarter at the Via Dolorosa.\u00a0 The decision to open that exit point was made about three months after Netanyahu became prime minister for the first time and was his first major decision relating to the Palestinian-Israeli issue.<\/p>\n<p>Download as a<a href=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Jerusalem-Day-2021.pdf\"> PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The opening of the tunnels was interpreted on the part of Palestinians as a breach of the status quo and a violation of al-Aqsa.\u00a0 From the Palestinian perspective, the tunnels adjacent to the foundations of the Temple Mount\/Haram al-Sharif complex are a threat to the al-Aqsa complex.\u00a0 While Israel correctly asserted that the Western Wall tunnels excavations did not penetrate under the Temple Mount complex, the Palestinians regard the excavation along the complex\u2019s foundations as a provocation and an infringement of their rights.\u00a0 The Palestinians\u2019 concerns were not completely unfounded<a href=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Politics-and-Arch-2017-Eng-Web.pdf\">.\u00a0 In 1981,\u00a0 tensions rose at the site<\/a>, when excavators working under the Western Wall&#8217;s then rabbi, Rabbi Yehuda Meir Getz, dug a tunnel in the area called the \u201cWarren\u2019s Gate,\u201d in the direction of the Temple Mount which led to a confrontation between the Islamic Waqf and the excavators.\u00a0 The Israeli authorities ordered the opening closed and sealed with concrete.\u00a0 These and other events prompted UNESCO in 1982 to declare Jerusalem as a World Heritage Site in Danger.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1791\" style=\"width: 726px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Netanyahu\u2019s 1996 decision led to three days of violent confrontations between Israelis and Palestinians, which <a href=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Politics-and-Arch-2017-Eng-Web.pdf\">took the lives of 17 Israelis and nearly 100 Palestinians<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Netanyahu, who throughout his years as prime minister has been known to avert military confrontations, demonstrated weakness when it came to the Temple Mount\/Haram al-Sharif.\u00a0 During the past decade we have witnessed a sharp increase in the number of Jewish pilgrims to the Temple Mount. Recently, the police even permitted Jewish prayer services on the Mount, a measure that was perceived as a breach of the status quo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In spite of Netanyahu\u2019s image as a cautious and measured leader, in 2017 pressure around the Temple Mount resulted in a decision to set up cameras and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/u-s-applauds-israel-s-temple-mount-security-backtrack-1.5435087\">metal detectors<\/a> at the entrances to the complex.\u00a0 The decision, made in the wake of the murder of two policemen at the entrance to the complex, led to protests on the part of the residents of East Jerusalem and after several days the metal detectors were removed and order was restored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apparently, in order to preclude politicians bent on political conflagration, or publicity hounds from setting the city on fire, a significant portion of the authority over the Old City is vested with the Prime Minister\u2019s Office. \u00a0Thus, for example, the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, which is responsible for the Western Wall plaza and the tunnels leading to the Muslim Quarter, is a government organization which comes under the direct authority of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent years, the administration of some of the tunnels was transferred to the settlers of the Elad Foundation.\u00a0 For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/press-release-petition-tavidson-tunnel-april-2015\/\">Elad has responsibility for a tunnel<\/a> which ends at a point alongside the Western Wall at the foot of the Temple Mount\/ Al Aqsa complex.\u00a0 The privatization of one of the most sensitive sites in the entire area may yet turn out to be a mistake (see Mount Meron).\u00a0 However, presently, it appears that Israel, driven by political interests, continues to allow changes to the status quo on the Temple Mount\/Haram al-Sharif and the Old City, despite being fully aware of the potential ramifications.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1795\" style=\"width: 762px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea-\u05d5\u05d9\u05dc\u05e1\u05d5\u05df.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1795\" class=\"wp-image-1795\" src=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea-\u05d5\u05d9\u05dc\u05e1\u05d5\u05df-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"752\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea-\u05d5\u05d9\u05dc\u05e1\u05d5\u05df-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea-\u05d5\u05d9\u05dc\u05e1\u05d5\u05df-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea-\u05d5\u05d9\u05dc\u05e1\u05d5\u05df-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emekshaveh.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/\u05e7\u05e9\u05ea-\u05d5\u05d9\u05dc\u05e1\u05d5\u05df.jpg 1110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1795\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wilson&#8217;s Arch in the Western Wall Tunnels<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If there is a leader who knows how sensitive a place Jerusalem is, especially the Temple Mount\/Haram al-Sharif and its surroundings, it is Binyamin Netanyahu.\u00a0 Perhaps, it is merely a coincidence that the events of recent days on the Temple Mount\/Haram al-Sharif, Damascus Gate and the surroundings, are concurrent with (as it appears at present) the final days of Netanyahu\u2019s tenure as prime minister, but it may be that it is not coincidental that the person who began his first term as prime minister, 25 years ago, with a conflagration on the holy esplanade, is ending his final term in the same manner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the memorable events during Netanyahu\u2019s first term as prime minister in the 1990\u2019s was the opening of the Western Wall tunnels.\u00a0 The Western Wall tunnels had been opened to the public since the 1980\u2019s, but the inauguration Netanyahu presided over in 1996 was the section that ends in the Muslim Quarter at the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"class_list":["post-1788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publications","tag-temple-mount","tag-the-old-city","tag-tunnels","tag-western-wall-plaza"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
