brent: betty greer said after the visit that the holy site is open to everybody. what does he mean by back? reporter: the holy site is actually open to everybody. the status quo is very fluid and it is understood that for many years jews have been going there and praying privately. there is no conspicuous sign jews are praying because part of the agreement that you said christians would not be praying with them the compound. nonetheless, it is seen because of the conflict that engulfs this question of what is the status of the place, it is seen as a form of provocation that is directly fitting into a sense of religious conflict. so understandably, the more moderate voices on both sides of this are calling for clearer minds to prevail. the issue is that on both sides, there is a strong attempt to actually flux muscle and to show that both the very far right of the israeli government and muslims will actually defend the place from who they see as their sworn enemy. anchor: thank you for that analysis. reporter: you are welcome. anchor: you are watching dw news. braz
