Recent developments in Jerusalem highlight the urgent need for Israel to reinforce its sovereignty and security in its capital. The passing of archaeologist Gabi Barkay, changes in police policy on the Temple Mount, and the demolition of the United Nations compound in Maalot Dafna all signal a shift towards reclaiming Jewish historical rights and countering foreign and Palestinian influence. The article stresses the growing threat posed by radical groups and illegal construction, as well as the ongoing problem of unauthorized infiltrations into Jerusalem, which pose significant security risks, especially with Ramadan approaching.

The writer argues that Israel must take decisive action to secure Jerusalem, including strengthening police and military presence, imposing restrictions on visitors to sensitive sites, and cracking down on incitement and provocative displays. The article criticizes calls for restraint during Ramadan, suggesting they amount to surrendering to violence rather than confronting it. Ultimately, the piece calls for a robust assertion of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem to ensure the city's safety and integrity.
