<p>The holy sites of Jerusalem hold particular significance for many groups around
the globe, especially the three Abrahamic faiths of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
The UK is committed to working with all parties to maintain calm, avoid provocation
and uphold the Status Quo in order to ensure the safety and security of Al Haram Al
Sharif/Temple Mount and all who worship and visit there. We support the freedom of
Muslims to worship at Al Haram Al Sharif. In our meetings with the Israeli authorities
we regularly raise the need to respect the status quo of the holy sites in the West
Bank, including East Jerusalem. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv did so most
recently on 16 October 2019.</p>
