Temple Mount Activist Yehuda Glick Sworn Into Knesset, Calls for End to Prayer Ban

Yehuda Glick, who survived an assassination attempt in 2014, was sworn in as a Likud member of the Knesset, filling a vacancy left by Moshe Ya'alon. In his swearing-in speech he called for an end to the ban on Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount, while promising to obey Netanyahu's order barring lawmakers from the site. The campaign for prayer on the Mount moved into Israel's parliament.
