‘A Show About Nothing’: Israeli Envoy on UN Emergency Meeting on a Jew’s Visit to Judaism’s Holiest Site

Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Gilad Erdan told the U.N. Security Council on Thursday that when he heard it was holding an emergency meeting on a government’s minister’s “quiet, orderly and uneventful” visit to the Temple Mount – Judaism’s holiest site – he thought world peace had broken out. Meanwhile Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour challenged all Israeli and Jewish claims to Temple Mount.
