Blackmail? Return to sender

Tisha Be’av was Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s first real test – whether he could stand up to the attempted “blackmail” threats from Hamas, the PA, various anti-Israel elements around the world, and the underminers within his own coalition, by giving in to the demands to not allow Jews to go up to Har Habayit.

Bennett passed the test superbly (“PM backs Jewish rights on Temple Mount,” July 19). A large number of Jews went, security was present and prevented any serious rioting, world war was not declared by Moslem extremists. Congratulations and thank you, PM Bennett. JOSEPH BERGER
