PA's Top Islamic Judge Denies Jewish Link to Jerusalem
[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - The Palestinian Authority's chief Islamic judge, Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, said on Wednesday that there was no evidence to back up claims that Jews had ever lived in Jerusalem or that the Jewish Temple ever existed. Tamimi spoke in response to statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who said that Jerusalem "is not a settlement," and that "the Jews built it 3,000 years ago." "Netanyahu's claims are baseless and untrue," said Tamimi, the highest religious authority in the PA.
