Today the entire mountain is called Al-Aqsa for political aims in order to expand the territory of the "Palestinian" struggle in Israel, but in the beginning the focus was the mosque itself and not beyond it, and by definition as 'haram' it was designated as one of the places where no war or political elements should be held.<ref name=inn-240422/> |

Ammunition on the Temple Mount: Saudi outrage over al-Aqsa "desecration" as they see it, per their religion, by "Palestinians."<ref name=inn-240422>Shimon Cohen, [https://www.inn.co.il/news/547702 Ammunition on the Temple Mount: Saudi outrage over al-Aqsa "desecration" (sic) by Palestinians], ''INN'', 24.04 22 <blockquote> |
| | + | ...We spoke with Itamar Tzur, a researcher at the Pre-Historian Forum. |
| | + | |
| | + | Tzur tells of rage in Saudi Arabia over turning the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Temple Mount into a political compound and battlefield ... To get to know the historical background to the status of the Temple Mount in Islam, Itamar Tzur takes us back to the seventh century AD, even before the period of Islam. During this period, Arab tribes lived with common legislation, and among the laws was also the treatment of the Kaaba who was a (so-called) "goddess" that those tribes believed in... |

| | + | The original name of the Temple Mount in Islam is 'Haram al-Quds A-sharif', meaning 'the sacred and glorious compound'. Today the entire mountain is called Al-Aqsa in order to expand the territory of the Palestinian struggle in Israel, but in the beginning the focus was the mosque itself and not beyond it, and by definition as 'haram' it was designated as one of the places where no war or political elements should be held. Tzur emphasizes that according to Islam, no flags should be displayed in a mosque for the same reason, its definition as 'harem'. The hanging of the PLO flag on the dome of the mosque is in fact contrary to the Islamic decision that has taken root since those days. |

| | + | In his remarks, Tzur mentions that Haj Amin al-Husseini hid from the Mandatory regime in the Temple Mount compound on the understanding that the British army would not reach there out of respect for Islam or for fear of a Muslim response if military forces entered the mountain. For the same reason, Yasser Arafat was also offered to move to the Temple Mount when the section was intercepted by the IDF. |

| | + | But Muslim rules have been violated and are violated almost every year, and as early as 101 years ago King Abdullah I was assassinated... |
| | + | |
| | + | Tzur tells of anger in the Muslim world over the Palestinian behavior on the Temple Mount and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and most of the anger comes from Saudi Arabia, which has two most sacred places in Islam and sees the third place, the Temple Mount, as a rival. In the Saudi media, Tzur says, there is sharp and open criticism against the introduction of weapons in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and against the football games there... |
| | + | |
| | + | He said that while we are hearing the voice... <font size=1>(of Russia - due to pure politics in Ukraine where it was denounced by almost all nations including Israel, thought actively neutral, despite being threatened by Russia for consequences -- editor)</font> criticizing Israel's conduct on the Temple Mount, the Saudi and Muslim criticism outside it towards the Palestinians and their conduct on the mountain is much sharper.</blockquote></ref> |
