Hello!!! I’ll repeat myself. The wall has zero kiddusha. It was not part of the Bais Hamikdosh. When Herod rebuilt the BH, he decided to expand the plaza on the Temple Mount to accommodate more people. To do this, he surrounded the Mount with four retaining walls , on top of which he placed a platform. The kotel was , for centuries, the only visible part of the retaining wall. It is NOT on the Mount and has no kedusha
