From today's edition of The Jerusalem Post:
Jews have no right to Western Wall, PA 'study' says
If, in fact, this is the official Palestinian position, it only provides a fresh indication that the Palestinian Authority is continuing to delegitimize historic/cultural Jewish claims in the region. The Western Wall is among Judaism's holiest sites, so such a position would be a non-starter were the Palestinians to seek a negotiated outcome that strips Israel of jurisdiction over the Western Wall.
The Western Wall belongs to Muslims and is an integral part of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Haram al-Sharif [the Noble Sanctuary], according to an official paper published on Monday by the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Information in Ramallah.
The paper, which has been presented as a “study,” was prepared by Al-Mutawakel Taha, a senior official with the PA Ministry of Information to “refute” Jews’ claim to the Western Wall.
