Deputy Speaker MK Moshe Feiglin would make a great Prime Minister of Israel…..Israel may even become a Jewish State under his leadership.

MK Feiglin is correct that all of Yerushalayim — including the Har HaBayis — is ours. However, Aliyah LeHar HaBayis Assur (any and all entry to the Temple Mount is prohibited) in accordance with the Psak (Rabbinical ruling) of over 50 Gedolei Yisrael (leading Rabbinical scholars) in the Hodaah VeAzharah document issued after the June ’67 war. This prohibition has been stated and reaffirmed numerous times by the leading Halachic authorities:

There will be no referendum. Feiglin is simply a Likud back bencher who doesn’t even finish high on the list. If the settlers could recruit support from various parties they might have a chance to block concessions, but given that the settlers also kicked out the hareidim (who had been quite willing to support them), they aren’t doing to well.

Meanwhile the US is losing interest in the region and is seriously dismantling its ability to interfere in MIddle East matters. Israel has developed a very western economy, and they are very vulnerable to boycotts. If the US says it won’t support an Israeli presence in the West Bank, few Israelis are willing to undergo hardships in order to object.
