The Biden administration, which has worked hand-in-glove on a wide range of funding projects for Palestinians in the Middle East, now says it is adamantly opposed to allowing Jews to pray on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.
Muslims have that right as of now. Jews do not.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that a Biden State Department official insisted it would be “unacceptable” for Jews to be allowed to pray there.
It’s because, the Biden official said, that would change the “historic status quo” that only allows Muslims to pray there.
