US enabled Israel to trick Europeans with Jewish claims to Temple Mount "that are not based on any proof"
Headline: “The Jerusalem Noble Sanctuary is Palestinian forever”
Op-ed by Izzat Daraghmeh, in his regular column for the official PA daily
“No one denies the success of Israel, and the US at its side, in pressing and misleading the representatives of the European states, and thus succeeding in enlisting a majority that enabled it to vote for the rejection of the Palestinian-Jordanian resolution proposal at the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to consider the Jerusalem Noble Sanctuary (i.e., Temple Mount) as a site holy only to Muslims and Arabs…
The official, security, and private Israeli media hurried to express its satisfaction and joy at what it called a political achievement, while launching an attack and recriminations on the Palestinian side in an attempt to blow up the incident and make it larger than it is in order to achieve long-term goals. The Israeli media said that the Palestinian-Jordanian resolution proposal denies the sanctity of the Jerusalem Noble Sanctuary to the Jews, in order to market a future campaign of deception, that will be seen in the field as ‘the right of the Jews to the Al-Aqsa Mosque,’ and that is the bottom line, as they say. Thus it will be possible to justify the Israeli invasions of the Al-Aqsa Mosque as ‘realizing their right to it,’ as they plan. This is despite the [fact that the] Palestinian-Jordanian resolution proposal emphasizes the sanctity of the site from three perspectives – historical, religious, and heritage, as it has been since it was built, and not on the basis of claims that are not based on any proof, evidence, or historical, geographic, or religious characteristics.”
The PA and its leaders consider all of the Temple Mount an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore they view any presence of Jews on the mount as an "invasion." It should be noted that Jews who visit the Temple Mount only enter some sections of the open areas, and do not enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock.
