Barak demands no transfer of Temple Mount sovereignty
Prime Minister Ehud Barak declared a bottom line against transferring Jerusalem’s Temple Mount sovereignty to Palestinians and rejected a Palestinian right of return. The stance follows intensified Israeli-Palestinian clashes, with West Bank and Gaza closures after bombings and a fatal Palestinian police office shooting near the Gaza crossing. Palestinians criticized the remarks as harming renewed peace talks. Barak signaled possible compromises but insisted sovereignty over the Temple Mount remain Israeli, despite calls for shared or third-party arrangements.
