There are some recent claims about this bridge, I noticed that the previous Israeli government was not critiqued about this and even members of that government are now coming out suddenly to critique the new Israeli government which was in power only a month 🤔

So you notice that the same political voices now shouting about this and bringing up Meron….are the SAME ones who said nothing before the Meron disaster and were on board with having nothing done about it and no investigations…but now suddenly they bring it up?

Odd how this bridge was not used to try to stoke a crisis with Jordan and the PA in Jerusalem under the last government, but suddenly became a risk in June 2021. Bridges don’t become unsafe overnight, if it was unsafe it was unsafe for years….nothing was done

Those members of the previous Israeli government who never raised a voice are suddenly giving speeches about this solely to create a crisis with Jordan and also they were fearful to say anything before…

Behind the crisis stoking with Jordan over Jerusalem is an agenda being pushed in recent days, including scurrilous claims about oil and Iran etc. it’s all nonsense.

Is the bridge unsafe? Maybe it is. So then it should have been fixed long ago. Why wasn’t it. Is the other goal here to close it for “fixing” to create another crisis not only with Jordan but the religious far right?

I mean how did it become “urgent” in July but not in May or before? 🤔
