Ronn asked <<And what about the big question: Who gets Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, which the hard-liners on both sides insist only they should have exclusive possession of?>>
How can there be *any* question? Jerusalem is capital city of Israel. Since king David days - and there *are* enough archeological findings that Jews were there for about 3000-4000 years. I am not sure what it looks like to you today, but de-jure Jerusalem and Temple Mount is in exclusive possession of Israel right now - the result you can see - Moslems can pray there, Jews can't. Wakf systemically re-building the area, destroying archeological site - Israel is only complaining. About site being holly to Islam - two facts: One - El-Aktza does not appear in Koran. This is the place, that, according to much later writings, Muhammad visited in his dream. Two - none of places that are holly to Islam (Mecca, Medina) are capital cities. Ilana from Israel
