Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office today presented the Palestinian Authority with a formal plan in which the Jewish state would forfeit the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site – to Muslim control, according to top Palestinian sources.
The sources said Olmert's plan calls for the entire Temple Mount plaza to fall under Arab sovereignty; Jerusalem's Old City holy sites near the Mount to be governed by a Jewish, Christian and Muslim task force; and the Western Wall plaza below the Mount to be controlled by Israel.

Do these "top Palestinian sources" only speak to WND reporters?
But is it true?
Read the whole article.
Not only idiotic but suicidal. Fools.
Not only idiotic but suicidal. Fools.
Olmert needs to go. WTF?
I did.
As I did last week.
Until I read this in a legitimate news source I’m taking it with a very small grain of salt.
ElMort doesn’t remember Joseph’s tomb?
Are the Palestinians ever going to have to give up something in the interest of peace? Evidently not.
This is a terrible decision and it sure as hell won’t achieve peace.
Olmert, like his predecessors, is giving away everything but the plugged kitchen sink.

No, but there will be a false peace.
No, it’s not.
Has there EVER been any palestinian “concessions” during the decades of negotiations on this issue? Ever? If so, I must have missed it.
Earth to Olmert: they don’t want the Mount-they want your HEAD!
They have slowly taken control of every biblically referenced region of Israel. The intelligence of this program is that first they take advantage of the arrogant secularists in Israel who want to get rid of Israel’s Jewish heritage, and they undermine the pinnings of Israel’s so called ‘right to exist’ and the Jews right of return.
By dominating all Jewish historical sites, the Arabs have a right to ask the Jew, “What are you returning to?” You don’t have Jerusalem, you don’t have Jericho, you don’t have Schem, you don’t have the West Jordan, is there a ‘right of return’ Tel Aviv?
Arabs are illiterate, uneducated, murderous barbarians but they got this one right. They learned how to let the Jews' own arrogance and quest for intellectual secularism destroy themselves.
This is a rope-a-dope, right? Something to show the rest of the world that even giving up the Temple Mount wont be enough to make the Palestinians want peace?
Not their best idea. The world doesn’t care, it will always be against Israel. The best Israel could get out of it is loosing the Temple Mount.
Fear not. I don’t see where this has even been carried by israeli newspapers. This is just Arab propoganda and nonesense.
