What Israel Should Do When a Stone Falls Out of the Western Wall
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Nadav Shragai - The Herodian-era stone that fell from the Western Wall last month miraculously missed worshippers. The Muslim Waqf insists that its own committee investigate why the stone fell off. Israel needs to take back the handling, control, and maintenance of the walls of the Temple Mount. If more stones from the Western Wall fall, or if the Temple Mount and its mosques are damaged, Israel will be held responsible.
