"Yeah, it’s terrible for Jews to believe in Judaism in Israel and to reject false religions."

What is terrible is for Jews to try to outlaw the free worship and practice of religions other than Judaism in Jerusalem (which, of course, are currently permitted there).    That includes Christianity, which was founded by that Jew Jesus Christ, who correctly predicted the devastating destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.

“What is terrible is for Jews to try to outlaw the free worship and practice of religions other than Judaism in Jerusalem”

Huh? You can be any religion you want, or no religion, in Israel. My country is the only country in the ME that permits that.

This concerns a property that is owned by (what translates as) the Jewish Antiquity Organization (not exact translation), a quasi-governmental organization under the authority of the Orthodox Rabbinate, put in charge of Jewish sites, such as this, the Tomb of David.

Permitting religious ceremonies of another religion is a very difficult issue.

Be like muslims doing whatever muslims do in the Vatican.

The way I understand the issue, some rabbis are concerned that celebrating Mass in the Cenacle would make the building unusable for Jewish activities according to Halakah.

I think it does not matter whether it is king David's tomb or not, mere decency would keep the Pope from insulting the Jews in their own country.
