PA official denies Jewish presence in Jerusalem as "false and fabricated Israeli narrative"

PA Director of Resistance to Demolitions in the Jerusalem District Tahani Al-Louzi: "They (i.e., Israelis) are establishing biblical parks and fictitious cemeteries [in Jerusalem]... and saying they belong to them... to serve their policy."

Official PA TV host: "We are talking about the Judaizing of the King's Garden."

Tahani Al-Louzi: "Correct, the King David's Garden as they call it and as they claim. This area is a purely Palestinian area, an area that has existed since time immemorial and belonged to the Palestinians, even from the history before our time. It is an Arab area and not a Jewish one… They talk about the false and fabricated Israeli narrative, according to which in this area, King David was there... They claim there are [ancient Jewish] graves, but these are empty and fictitious graves."

The King's Garden is an archaeological project near the City of David.

The Palestinians have no history prior to the modern period.
