WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. proposal for Israeli-Palestinian peace does not call for imposing any change to prayer arrangements around a key Jerusalem mosque compound which was also the site of ancient Jewish temples, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.
The Al-Aqsa mosque compound, also known as the Temple Mount, has been often been a flashpoint of violence. Under a "status quo" agreement also involving neighboring Jordan, Jewish prayer is prevented there - a source of frustration for some Israelis.
