Rivlin: Israel won’t alter ‘single letter’ of Temple Mount status quo

President Reuven Rivlin says at a press conference with visiting UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that Israel won’t change “even a single letter” of the status quo on the Temple Mount.

“The Temple Mount is held captive by people who want to ignite a religious war,” he says. “Israel won’t let this happen, and won’t change even a single letter of the status quo.”
