Friedman, along with a picture of Jerusalem has been modified (Net)
The image of "Temple Mount" that brought trouble to the US ambassador
The US State Department: Our Ambassador to Israel did not know about the amendment to the picture presented to him as a gift, in which the "Temple Mount" instead of Al-Haram Al-Sharif .. We are adhering to the status quo in the Haram al-Sharif
The American ambassador, David Friedman, does not expect his visit to the religiously majority city of Bnei Brak to be a cause for trouble and a diplomatic crisis between Muslim countries and America. The trouble caused a picture of the ambassador along with a picture of the city of Jerusalem that was modified. The Dome of the Rock was removed from Jerusalem in order to be replaced by the Temple Mount.
The picture spread like a razor fire in social networking sites, and commentators wrote that the ambassador seemed happy with the gift he had received, knowing that he was the main driver behind the transfer of the US embassy to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem. But the truth was otherwise, the ambassador did not know the details that were modified in the picture.
"The ambassador is disappointed that his visit to the city has been used to provoke controversy," the US State Department said in a statement after the incident, "The policy of America is very clear: we are adhering to the status quo in the Haram al-Sharif."

It turned out that the representative of a Jewish organization called "alive" undertook to modify the picture without the knowledge of the organization, the organization issued a statement apologizing and wrote that it regrets what happened, especially that "cheap political action" has disturbed the atmosphere of the visit successful.
Since the declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the transfer of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly emphasized that the final status of Jerusalem will be determined within the framework of an agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
