There is a conflict over the Temple Mount in Israel because the Jews think it is the holiest place in Judaism, the Muslims think it is the third holiest place in Islam. The Muslims have control over the Temple Mount, they do not allow any other religious actions happen there but they do allow people come in and wonder around. The Jews are protesting because they want to be able to pray wherever they want to in the Temple mount. Israel's prime minister is Benjamin Netanyahu. Aviad Visoli is the chairman of the Temple Mount Organization. The significant event that the Roman emperor Titus initiated was in A.D. 70 he destroyed the Jews Second Temple trying to exile them. Sheik Azzam al-Khatib is the director of the Waqf.

The Temple Mount in Israel is a sacred place that both the Muslims and Jews both want to call their own. The prime minister of Israel is Benjamin Netanyahu. The chairman of the Temple Mount organization is Aviad Visoli. The signifigance of this happening is that the Roman emporer Titus casted all the Jews out of Israel. Shelik Azzam Al Khatib is the director of the Waqf.

The conflict is that Jewish activist are not receiving the right to pray at the Temple Mount. Israel's prime minister is Benjamin Netanyahu. Aviad Visoli is the chairman of the Temple Mount Organizations. Titus destroyed the Second Tempe then castes Jews into exile. Sheik Azzam al-Khati is the director of the Waqf, the Islamic trust that watches over the temple site.

The struggle between the Jewish population and the Islamic population in Israel has been going on for far to long now. The conflict revolves around a Jerusalem holy site being prayed on by Jews. Islamic citizens are claiming it is a desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque. Though the land is the holiest of Judaism the feud continues. Israels prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants full control over the land. Aviad Visoli speaks for the Jews stating they want it to be divided between the two while Sheik Azzam al-Khatib insists that it is strictly for Muslims and no one else has right to pray there. The fight over this land has been going on since the destruction of the Jews second temple by Roman emperor Titus.

There is conflict because both Muslims and Jews view the Temple Mount as holy places. The prime minister is Benjamin Netanyahu. Aviad Visoli is chairman of the Temple Mount Organizations. The emperor Titus was the one who exiled Jews back in 70 A.D., and also the one who helped destroy the Second Temple. Sheik al-Khatib is director of the Waqf, which is an Islamic trust that looks over the site, and seems to not want Jews interfering with the site at all, and believes that a possible war could break out.

ReplyDeleteThere is conflict over the Temple Mount in Israel because Jewish activists want to pray there, and it is causing an angry uproar from the Muslim world. The Muslims believe "This place belongs to the Muslim people, and no others have the right to pray here,” says Sheik Azzam al-Khatib the director of the Waqf, who explains why this angry alert is coming from the Muslim world. Israel’s Prime Minister's, Benjamin Netanyahu, government dismissed this movement as extremists, but are now debating on the matter. The chairman of the Temple Mount, Aviad Visoli, stated,“ We’re looking for it to be divided between Jews and Muslims." The Roman emperor Titus initiated the event of the actual destroying of the Jews' Second Temple in A.D. 70; it is also Titus who placed Jews into exile. Sheik Azzam al-Khatib, the director of Waqf, also stated, “If they try to take over the mosque, this will be the end of time.”
There is a conflict over the Temple Mount in Israel because the Jews want to worship there because the mount is the same as their temple, which is destroyed, is now. BUt the Muslims say that they can't worship there because it it holy Muslim ground. The Israel prime minister is Benjamin Netanyahu. Aviad Visoli is chairman of the Temple Mount Organizations. The significant event the Roman emperor Titus initiated is he cast the Jews into exile and the western wall built around the raised temple complex. Sheik Azzam al-Khatib is director of the Waqf.

There is conflict over the Temple Mount in Israel because the Jewish people want to pray there and they are really not supposed to. Israel's prime ministers name is Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sheik Azzam al-Khatib is the director of the Waqf, the Islamic trust that administers the site.

There is conflict over the Temple Mount in Israel because Jews want to pray at the Temple but the Muslims are banning them because it is considered a holy place and it belongs to them. Israel's prime minister is Benjamin Netanyahu. Aviad Visoli is the chairman of the Temple Mount Organizations. The Roman emperor Titus destroyed the Jew's second temple in 70 AD and cast the Jews into exile. Azzam al-Khatib is the director of the Waqf, the Islamic trust that administers the site.
ReplyDeleteJewish activist consider Temple Mount, their holy site. They want to worship and pray there. The Muslims also consider it to be holy and want to keep Jews banned from there. Aviad Visoli, Israel's Prime Minister is the chairman of the organization in charge of the compound area and is expecting it to be split between the two groups. The Roman Empire's leader, Titus, 2000 years ago had the site destroyed. At that time, it was the Jew's holy landmark. The same area is home to one of the oldest landmark mosque. Sheik Azzam al-Khatib believes Muslims have the right for complete control. "Sheik Azzam al-Khatib is the director of the waaf, the Islamic trust that administers the site."

ReplyDeleteFirst, there is a conflict because Jews are not able to have any religious activity at the temple. Second, their prime minister is Benjamin Netanyahu. Third, Aviad is the chairman of the Temple Mount Organizations. Also, Titus is the one that destroyed the Jews Second Temple, and that is where the temple today is built around. Last, Sheik Azzam al-Khatib is the director of the Waqf, this is the Islamic trust that administers the site.
