summary
The Supreme Muslim Council (headed by Haj Amin al-Husseini) here officially denotes the historic Jewish connection to the Temple Mount.
This guide to the structures that comprise the al-Haram al-Sharif is written from a Moslem perspective overwhelmingly, nonetheless it declares (p.4): “The site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest times. Its identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute.”
