Abbas’ advisor: Jews have no historical or religious connection to the Temple Mount
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "The Al-Aqsa Mosque [plaza] is not a Jewish site, and they have no connection to it, neither religiously nor historically" …
Official PA radio station The Voice of Palestine host: "The Israeli plan is to actually destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and establish the alleged Temple in its place… Israel's dream is to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the alleged Temple in its place."

The PA and its leaders misrepresent all of the Temple Mount as an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore, they vilify 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. Israeli police ban Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount because of threats of violence by Palestinians.
An abundance of evidence proves Jewish history at the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
