The opening as it read in 2025

Secular–religious political understanding Not to be confused with Status Quo (Jerusalem and Bethlehem) or Status Quo (Holy Esplanade) . In Israel , the term status quo (or the secular–religious status quo ) refers to a political understanding between secular and religious political parties not to alter the communal arrangement in relation to religious matters. The established Jewish religious communities in Israel desire to maintain and promote the religious character of the state, while the secular community sometimes wishes to reduce the impact of religious regulations in their everyday lives. Occasionally, one political side seeks to make changes to inter-communal arrangements, but these are often met by political opposition from the other side. The status quo preserves the established religious relations in Israel , and only small changes are usually made.
