In theory Israeli law would allow the government to limit or stop entirely that prayer service. But the Netanyahu government is too scared to do this. In addition a fanatical Arab party now holds to some degree the balance of power regarding what new government will be formed after the elections this past week. I say to some degree, because it also depends on the right of center, but Anti-Netanyahu, Anti-Religious party of Avigdor Liberman breaking a promise to his supporters and teaming up with the fanatical Arab party. It remains unclear at this point in time will Liberman break his promise or usher in a 4th round of elections.
