Likud MK Moshe Feiglin initiated a one-man rebellion against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition on Wednesday when he suspended himself from coalition discipline to protest Netanyahu barring him from the Temple Mount.Netanyahu decided with Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein on Sunday not to permit Feiglin on the Mount, citing a threat to public security.Feiglin responded that Netanyahu had no such right, and that he (Feiglin) had already stopped voting with the coalition on Monday, though it was only on Wednesday night that he announced he was suspending himself from the coalition “I knew there would eventually be a crisis of confidence between me and the coalition over one diplomatic move or another, but I certainly did not think it would come so soon,” Feiglin said.“I have nothing against the Likud or the coalition, but we cannot accept dictates from the Wakf [Muslim religious trust],” he said.
