The Israeli governments, especially the right-wing parties including the extremist Likud party and its prime ministers like Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu, have always tried to take control over Palestinian holy places like the Ibrahimi Mosque and the Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to legitimize Tel Aviv Regime’s presence in the Palestinian occupied territories.
