Brig. Gen. Yosef Griff was requested to deploy security for Feiglin, as well as provide security to any MK, left or right, who felt threatened, reports Israel National News (http://bit.ly/1wgsR3R).
Glick was shot several times by terrorist Mu’taz Hijazi at the Ben Heritage Center after speaking about Jewish prayer rights at Temple Mount. He is in critical but stable condition. Fears for Feiglin’s life come from his support for Jewish rights at Temple Mount. He was at the event when Glick was shot.
Hijazi was shot by police when he opened fire on them.
Two weeks ago, Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas stated for any means to be used to keep Jews from what he called “defiling” the site.
