“Dept. Minister Tells Foreign Envoys: No Change to Temple Mount Status - Quo”
by Arutz Sheva   
November 12th, 2014

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi and Israel Police Chief Yohanan Danino held a briefing at the foreign ministry for foreign ambassadors Wednesday, and addressed the current political and security situation concerning the Temple Mount.

"In Israel (there is) freedom of religion and worship to all religions and a commitment to the wellbeing of holy places," Hanegbi said. "Israel protects and will continue to protect the status-quo on the Temple Mount and the special status of Jordan as the guardian of sites holy to Islam, and will oppose any attempt to change this."

"Any statements to the contrary are personal opinions which do not represent the position of the government of Israel," he continued, referring to some MKs and government ministers pushing for Jewish prayer rights.

Hanegbi also called out Palestinian incitement to violence during the meeting, which he blamed on Palestinian Authority officials and "Islamic extremists."
