Israel’s former Interior Minister
Uzi Baram has said that the current government’s religious right-wing is
relying on the role of US President Donald Trump to help destroy the Dome of
the Rock Mosque. The religious right believes that the mosque’s presence is
hindering the fulfilment of Jewish salvation represented by the construction of
the Third Temple.

representatives in the Knesset and government believe that Trump will help in
fulfilling Torah prophecies and fulfil the ideological religious visions of
Gush Emunim, the far-right movement responsible for the settlement project in
the occupied West Bank. Although it no longer exists formally, the movement’s
ideology is still influential in Israel.
