if the lifting of the Har Habayit ban only temporary?

INN is reporting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to lift the ban on MKs entering Har Habayit.

That means, that MK Yehuda Glick will be allowed back on Temple Mount, and his ascension the day of his appointment to the Knesset will not have been his last time, as Netanyahu had said to him then.

What INN does not explain is why Netanyahu has agreed to lift the ban. According to NRG the ban is being lifted because the Arab MKs wanted to go up to Har Habayit during Ramadan. They have requested the lifting of the ban, and Netanyahu has agreed to their request. The ban will be lifted, they will be allowed to ascend during Ramadan, and then supposedly the Jewish MKs will be allowed to ascend, if any so desire, after Ramadan.

I would be willing to bet that the ban gets reinstated before the Jewish MKs (such as Glick, Mualem and Hotovely) get the opportunity to go back up, or immediately after just one visit. The Palestinians will probably make a big deal about Glick going up at his first opportunity and they will threaten riots or whatnot, and the ban gets reinstated.
