On July 19, 2017, the Patriarchs and Heads of Local Churches in Jerusalem gave a statement concerning the Temple Mount crisis.  They expressed concern regarding the escalation of violent actions, condemning any acts of violence.  They are troubled about any change to the historical "Status Quo."  They regard the Jordanian kingdom as the custodians of the Temple Mount and other holy places.  Finally, they again call for the continued respect for the historical "Status Quo."
