In the wake of the Arab riots in Jerusalem, Vice Premier Silvan Shalom and National Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau on Tuesday called for the Islamic Movement, accused of inciting the violence, to be outlawed, while Interior Minister Eli Yishai stressed that Israel is the sovereign "in the eternal, united capital of the Jewish people."

" Sheikh Raed Salah should be behind bars, and so should Kamal Khatib," Shalom told Israel Radio. "I intend to raise the issue in the next cabinet meeting."

While Shalom praised the police for doing its job, he stressed that "it's time for the State Prosecution to start acting....enough is enough."

The Palestinian Authority contributes to the situation by trying to assert its authority over east Jerusalem, Shalom said, but Israel needs to assert its sovereignty on the Temple Mount. RELATEDEditorial: Third intifada?Two cops wounded in Shuafat clashes

Israel must act decisively and crack down on the rioters, because if it fails to do so, those fanning the violence will interpret this as weakness and will increase their activities, the vice premier concluded.

Landau also called for the indictment of those Muslim leaders who were calling for violence and confrontation in the capital and encouraging hateful anti-Israeli sentiments, among them "Sheikh Raed Salah and his ilk."

"Israel must stop paying the salaries of imams and heads of mosques who engage in incitement against the state of Israel," said Landau. He also called for discussion in the cabinet on bringing PA activity in Jerusalem to a halt.

Landau stated that implementing his suggestions could possibly "put a stop to the inflammation that brings about the wounding of soldiers, stone-throwing, riots and clashes."

Also on Tuesday morning, Yishai said that "the state of Israel is the sovereign in Jerusalem and there is no force that can limit it in the eternal, united capital of the Jewish people."

The interior minister went on to stress that no amount of anti-Jewish preaching could undermine the Jewish people's connection to the city.

"Anti-Jewish preaching from within the country or from abroad cannot undermine nor loosen the connection between the people of Israel and their capital, and the need to strengthen and develop the city," the minister concluded.

Minorities Minister Avishai Braverman told Israeli Radio that the government is strict about ensuring that Jews will not pray at the Temple Mount and stressed that Jews are forbidden from entering the compound according to Jewish law.
