US Peace plan: Keep status quo at Temple Mount — but allow all faiths to pray

The US peace proposal says the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount should be maintained, but also that all faiths should be able to pray there — which is a change from the status quo.

The plan says “the status quo at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif should continue uninterrupted.” It goes on to say “Jerusalem’s holy sites should remain open and available for peaceful worshippers and tourists of all faiths. People of every faith should be permitted to pray on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif, in a manner that is fully respectful to their religion.”

Jews and Christians can today visit the Temple Mount, but only Muslims are allowed to pray there.
