The so-called "status quo" is a hollow myth — Palestinians built four additional mosques while systematically erasing Jewish history. For fifty-seven years, Jews have been denied their fundamental right to pray at Judaism's holiest site. Ben-Gvir simply acknowledged reality: religious freedom belongs to everyone, including Jews mourning their destroyed Temples on their most sacred ground.
