The only human resolution I can see would have to stem from an agreement among the religious authorities to establish the area around Temple Mount as an interfaith managed region, not a cure all but a step toward mutual benefit and cooperation in the region. I don't see the venue for that under the current circumstances. Neither side can claim to have clean hands at this point. It does make sense. They lived and prayed side by for centuries.

In forming Israel, the UN mandated Jerusalem to be an "international city' among other things to protect the religious ties to the city of all three Abrahamic faiths. Tel Aviv was to be Israel's capital. Foreign embassies were located there. As you well know, that's changed .....Israel claims all of Jerusalem....Israel pushes for U.S. to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel to validate its desire to make Jerusalem the capital. It's all been one long violation of UN resolutions.

Whether folks here like it or not, Jerusalem will remain captial of israel unless its either a. destroyed or b. conquered. De Facto pertains to facts on the ground even if not totally de jure or legal. When the jordanians held east jerusalem the Wailing Wall was a urinal for arab men. No one now desecrates religious sites under israeli rule in J.
