ערב התקפה איראנית ושל כל ציר הטרור. מה עושה לוין? מפזר לרוח זרעי פירוד ושנאה עם ההצעה שגרמה את הנזק הגדול ביותר למדינת ישראל מאז הקמתה. כל הספינים של דוברי הימין הפופוליסטי ריקים, וייכשלו: הנזק כולו, גם להרתעה, גם הביטחוני, הוא באחריות הממשלה, ביבי ולוין.

The Americans emphasize the fact that Muslims can visit Al-Aksa so much (in the video), I guess because that helps sell it in the Arab world. In Israel it's not really a big deal. Muslims are there all day every day. I don't think that was a big ask of Netanyahu.
