No. that is almost precisely the point. Since the area is of great signifigance to All three monotheisitic religions, it becomes a case of someone feeling slighted, so the obvious answer is to make everyone have a stake in it's future. And who better to use to quell the violence than the organization that turns a blind eye to it.

You forget only two of the three monotheistic religions consider Jerusalem significant to the other two.
The third contends that Jews never lived anywhere near the place and that Jesus was a Muslim.
