--The Pope of Rome is equal among equals: there are quite a few Patriarchs who do not report to Pope.

The Pope is the Vicar of Christ, not first among equals as in the Orthodox world. BTW, the Greek Church owns more land that the Israeli state after the Turks sold Israeli land to them. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/824151.html

IMO the Vatican should also get the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and end the brawls, petty politics and other embarrassments.

Well, this year for sure has been bad for the religious turism industry in Israel. Merchants, taxi drivers are all complaining. Nevertheless, the cynical comments of this turism minister, are quite disgraceful.
As it is, all the jurisdiction/administration issue is quite complicated, there was no need for the Israeli government to start this who offers more or silently induced rivalry game. It is enough that christians of any denomination have to go through quite some danger and in a way humiliation, just to be able to pray and venerate at their Holy Sites.
