It violates the feelings of the entire Jewish nation, especially when it occurs during the Muslim holy month,\u201d Gantz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis morning, I delivered a strong message to the Palestinian Authority, demanding the immediate reinforcement of their officials on-site and decisive action against rioters and terrorists that harm stability and security in holy places,\u201d Gantz added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Human rights lawyer and CEO of the\u00a0International Legal Forum Arsen Ostrovsky slammed the international community, including the U.N.\u2019s agency for preserving heritage sites, for their failure to condemn the vandalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attack by Palestinian vigilantes on Joseph\u2019s Tomb, one of the holiest sites in Judaism, was a despicable act of desecration, made even more heinous coming on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Passover,\u201d Ostrovsky told Breitbart.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The aunt of the Palestinian terrorist responsible for a shooting attack that killed five people in a Tel Aviv suburb last week spoke openly of her support for him, stating she was \u201chappy\u201d he became a martyr. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W9SL0qdth7\">https:\/\/t.co\/W9SL0qdth7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1511307285829668869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 5, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhere is the international outrage?

Jewish access to the site is restricted, and Jews are only allowed to pray there once a month with heavy military escort. During such visits, pilgrims and IDF troops routinely come under attack from rioting Palestinians, who hurl rocks and Molotov cocktails at them.<\/p>\n<p>Ostrovsky slammed the PA for the \u201cflagrant violation\u201d of its commitments to protect and preserve holy sites under the 1993 Oslo peace accords.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhereas Israel does everything to allow freedom of worship and protection of holy sites for Muslims, it is inexplicable and outrageous that\u00a0the Palestinian leadership would turn its back and allow this kind of defilement, which is also a flagrant violation of international\u00a0law and the Palestinian Authority\u2019s commitments,\u201d Ostrovsky told Breitbart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palestinian rioters on Saturday night vandalized Joseph\u2019s Tomb, one of Judaism\u2019s holiest sites,\u00a0 setting it on fire and smashing the gravestone.
