What business is it of the UN, or any other entity, or person for that matter, if a Jew decides to visit the site where his ancestors had built a temple to God?
As far as I am concerned, every one of these people who object to such a visit, can go screw themselves.

Imagine if the tables were turned and Muslims controlled Jerusalem again? Would the Jews have any access whatsoever?
Israel needs to do what other nations have done: nationalize contentious religious sites and lease them to “responsible lessees”. This does several things:
1) It eliminates the confusion of nations or religions claiming sites as “their territory”, like an embassy.
2) It allows the lessor (Israel) to select from various sects claiming the sites. For example, in Saudi, the Wahhabi sect shares power with the ruling family, though they want absolute power. When they get too troublesome about overthrowing the ruling family, they threaten the Wahhabi that all the mosques in Saudi, to turn them over to the Sufi sect. This terrifies the Wahhabi, so they behave themselves. Israel could make a similar threat, of turning over management of the al-Aqsa mosque (currently Wahhabi run), to the Sufi, or another sect.
3) Once nationalized, religious sites are “held hostage” against hostile nations that hate Israel. For instance, Muslim nations can no longer threaten Israel, or they might threaten to tear down al-Asqa and rebuild the Jewish temple on its site.
