For years, especially during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City has been the main site of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which both Judaism and Islam consider their own holy sites. In 1967, Israel captured East Jerusalem and annexed it during the Six-Day War, a move that was not recognized by the international community.
