The Palestine in general and Jerusalem in particular, occupy a prominent place in the mind and conscience of all workers in the field of history, and the fact that Jerusalem has in the hearts of nostalgia particular they flower of cities , and represent all of us of great importance deserved all the attention, especially after the recent events involving the monster's identity Jerusalem, and the owners of your thought to distort the Arab identity of Jerusalem, who lived world and a global outcry, based on the falsification of historical fact. The history of Jerusalem, which draw material from historical sources, an epic of great tragedy of great 1 سورة اﻻسراء : اﻵٌات 4 – 7 . 3 experienced that city, since its inception and until now, saw the conquests and lived victories, and suffered from aggression and rape, but it has been, and will remain, God willing, steadfast defiance of a proud, proud of Arab identity and its Arab Islamic and, if the Zionists were planning to Judaizing the city Arab roots, and make it the capital of a unified state temporary Israel, it is better to them to refer to the documentation of Jerusalem and the sources of history and read it well to absorb the lesson learned from the fate of those who tried before them, such as attempts to turn and be changed by the identity and the displacement of the people of Documents and sources of history is the best witness to the triumph of the owners of the denied the right, defeat the aggressor and usurper no matter how long lags and the apartment, plunging the night no matter how long-standing must have its light shines in the morning light of truth. And sources for the history of Jerusalem variety in the quantity and quality, commensurate with the date and amount of this city, which was destined to play on the extent of recorded history role politically and culturally, spiritually and place of spiritual, cultural, and geographic strategy is the city of the Apostles and the meeting of the prophets and complex religions, and therefore the history of Jerusalem will not stop the march for the moment, since the ancient times until today, and will continue that history exists as long as the human story alive on the surface of the earth live list. It is worth mentioning that the yield of this study to shed light on the new sources for the history of Jerusalem in particular, documents the Temple Mount, which was discovered about ten years, and documents Ganizp, and documents of stay and records of judges and documents about the history of Jerusalem preserved in the role of archives in Europe and the coping and Galatasaray Istanbul as well as for inscriptions, coins, and archives, and wrote travelers, ware sources of the history of Jerusalem. 4 It is an honor and privilege of this study would be part of what it reveals of documents about the sanctity and Arab character of Jerusalem, and about the historical aspects of the city of Jerusalem, and has imposed conditions and transfers of regional and international, continue to impose consider the conditions of flower of cities (Jerusalem) in all its aspects: historical, legal, political and cultural and civilization, because Jerusalem is not just a city like other cities in the world as a whole, it is fragrant and the scent of the heavenly messages, address human civilization and, the symbol of the will of life and image, reflect the major shifts in this region and around the world. The importance of this research is limited in: First: The objective aims to approach the issue of holiness and the Arab identity of Jerusalem, with the collection of scientific material as possible to the scientific analysis, and systematic evaluation of them. II: The hard historical facts establish special responsibilities towards Jerusalem to the Arabs and Muslims and Christians are all, to link the city with them since historically the oldest ages until now. And then the search is concerned to prove two axes are of great importance, namely the Arab character of the city and the Arab identity of the population. III: proof of contradiction Zionist claims on Jerusalem, which is based on a set of statements that emphasize the historical facts to be groundless, they estimate they distinct breed pure blood descendants of Abraham, and that they therefore God's chosen people, and that Palestine is the Promised Land. And historically that all this is not true, and that these allegations contradictory as stated in the Bible which tells us that the purity of Jewish blood is a myth, and that the Jewish religion, not race, that God promised them of their presence in Palestine was conditioned save them the commandments of God and their followers orders, but they wasted this conditions. 5 Population: Before talking about the history of the city of Jerusalem and its early years, we have to note that the population of this city, since its inception and before that arise on the land of Palestine was inhabited by people Palestine ancient Arabs known as the Jebusites, migrated from the Arabian Peninsula on the impact of the drought in the old to the Palestine , and lived with her family Albulstinyin Arab Canaanites, since four thousand years ago before the birth of Prophet Abraham peace be upon him, and before the appearance of Moses and his followers on the scene for more than two thousand years, and this is an historic truth supported by the archaeological finds last-taken by scientists almost unanimously. As historians Modern "and that show a birth certificate of the city it Canaanite origin, and shortly after the conflict emerged was between those indigenous owners of city real and the Hebrews who wanted to take over the city.

Archaeological excavations are not allowed here, though one project—the Temple Mount Sifting Project—has been analyzing soil that came from the Temple Mount since 2004. Preserved as a nearly rectangular man-made platform, the Temple Mount stretches 36 acres—equivalent to about 28 football fields.

The Temple Mount CC-BY-SA 3.0. is the holiest site in Judaism. The Temple Mount has been a Christian pilgrimage site since at least the fourth century C.E., when the Pilgrim of Bordeaux chronicled his journey through the Holy Land. The Jerusalem Temple is referenced several time in the New Testament—it is where Jesus drove out merchants and overturned the money-changers’ tables to cleanse the Temple (Mark 11:15–19; Matthew 21:12–17; Luke 19:45– 48). At the southern end of the Temple Mount (Arabic: Haram al-Sharif, or “Noble Sanctuary”) sits al-Aqsa Mosque (“the farthest mosque”)—the third holiest site in Islam—where in Islamic tradition the prophet Muhammad was transported from Mecca on the Night Journey, and at the center of the Temple Mount is the Dome of the Rock, a gold-domed shrine commemorating the site where Muhammad ascended to heaven (Sura 17:1).

Eltigani, A. Rahma The purpose of this research is to examine the objectives, tools, and features of Qatari foreign policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the reign of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (1995–2013). It also explores to what extent Qatar has overcome its constraints as a small state located between two regional rival powers (Saudi Arabia and Iran) and become an influential player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ultimately, it analyzes Qatar’s official position towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through utilizing the speeches of Sheikh Hamad and Qatar’s soft power instruments. Since Qatar’s involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was only through its soft power, the theoretical framework of the research is centered around the soft power theory.

The 1992 Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty describes the country as a “Jewish and democratic state.” The 2018 Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People law determines, according to the government, that “the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” In June, authorities charged Zion Cohen for carrying out attacks on May 17 on religious institutions in Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and Kfar Saba. According to his indictment, Cohen sought to stop religious institutions from providing services to secular individuals, thereby furthering his goal of separating religion and the state. He was awaiting trial at year’s end. In July, the Haifa District Court upheld the 2019 conviction and sentencing for incitement of Raed Salah, head of the prohibited Islamic Movement, for speaking publicly in favor an attack by the group in 2017 that killed two police officers at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. In his defense, Salah stated that his views were religious opinions rooted in the Quran and that they did not include a direct call to violence.
