Jewish men pray at the men's section of the Western Wall, the most holy site where Jews can pray, in Jerusalem's Old City on June 27, 2017.
Israel's shelving of a deal to allow men and women to pray together at the Western Wall echoed far beyond religion on June 26, 2017 with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused of abandoning reform efforts for political gain. 
Netanyahu's cabinet voted the previous day to back out of the hard-won deal, provoking a flood of criticism and warnings it could damage Israel's relationship with the United States' influential Jewish community. / AFP PHOTO / THOMAS COEX        (Photo credit should read THOMAS COEX/AFP/Getty Images)
