Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with the European Union's new foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini in Jerusalem on Monday, where he made a partial push for Jewish religious rights that fell short of prayer at the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
"The Temple Mount is the site of the Jewish temple; it's the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque; it's close to the sites of, holy sites of Christianity. And we are committed to maintaining the status quo for religious access to all faiths," said Netanyahu.
