The US Embassy in Jerusalem criticizes National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s visit to the Temple Mount earlier today.
“The US stands firmly for the preservation of the historic status quo with respect to the holy sites in Jerusalem,” it says.
“Any unilateral action or rhetoric that jeopardizes the status quo is unacceptable.”
