If Israel asserts her sovereignty over the Temple Mount to prevent the bulging wall from collapsing, she will face an uprising by Palestinians. They will try to kill Israelis and burn Israeli property around them.

If Israel does not assert her sovereignty over the Temple Mount to prevent the bulging wall from collapsing, and if it then collapses, she will face an uprising by Palestinians. They will try to kill Israelis and burn Israeli property around them.

Daniel, have you gone on record to propose that Israel assert her sovereignty to demand that Jews be allowed to pray at the Temple Mount? Israel, at the risk of being redundant, belongs to Israelis. Period.
