Top Palestinian Official: Western Wall Should Stay under Jewish Sovereignty
(Jerusalem Post) Senior Palestinian Authority official Jibril Rajoub said on Saturday evening that Palestinians recognize that in any peace agreement the Western Wall should stay under Israeli sovereignty but the Temple Mount should not. In an interview on Channel 2's Meet the Press, Rajoub said: "We understand that the Western Wall must be under Jewish sovereignty, but the Temple Mount is ours....I hope that you understand that we recognize your right to exist. It is your right to build your state and live in it in peace and security, but in line with the 1967 borders."
