A growing movement among Jews strives to assert sovereignty over the Jerusalem Temple Mount

JewsForSarah.com "The al-Haram ash-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) consists of nearly 40 acres of religious structures and gardens, including the Aqsa Mosque in the south and the Dome of the Rock in the center. Muslims consider this to be the place from where Muhammad made his journey from Jerusalem to heaven. It is their third most holy site. According to evangelical Christians, the Temple Mount must be rebuilt in order for Jesus to return and bring on the End of Days."
Mounting Tensions “The Temple Mount has always been at the center of national awareness,” says Berkovitz. “The call of the rabbis from the Zionist religious movement has enhanced the longing that has always existed for site.
"Currently,” he concludes, “there is a vacuum of sovereignty on the Mount. And we all know that a vacuum like this cannot be sustained.”" Jerusalem Post
