PM asserts status quo on Temple Mount has not changed
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Israel’s policy “to maintain the status quo on the Temple Mount has not changed and will not change,” says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
The statement comes in response to his National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s claim that he prayed on the Temple Mount during his visit last week.
Other members of the governing coalition have publicly panned Ben Gvir for his statements around the sensitive site.
