The question as posed is nonsensical. An equivalent question is "Why should Americans control Hispanics?" The problem with both of these questions is that Israeli and American are nationalities irrespective of race, ethnicity, or religion, whereas Arab and Hispanic are ethnicities with common religions, but exist irrespective of citizenship. As a result, there are a large number of Israeli Arabs (20% of Israel) and American Hispanics (17% of the USA). The terms are not exclusive.
If the question is asking "Why should the Jews in Israel control the Arabs in Israel?" the question is based on an incorrect implicit assumption: Jews control Arabs in Israel. Arabs have several different parties in Israeli politics and some of these Arabs have voiced dissent or disagreement with the Right of Israel to Exist at all without losing their seats or their parties being banned. Arabs are just as free to exercise political will as Jews are in Israel. The better question might be "Why do Muslim Arabs get to control Jews in Arab countries?" but people chose not to ask this question because they know that they will not like the answer.

Yes
Yes. The three monotheistic religions (of which Arabs and Israelis are mainly composed) all venerate the city.
Since 20% of Israelis are Arabs, the two groups have some overlap, but if the question refers exclusively to non-Israeli Arabs and Israelis, there is a tense and violent political and economic relationship. On a personal level, there are some Arab-Israeli relationships.
Jerusalem
No. Religion is a very small part of the war and is often used (incorrectly) to label Israelis and Arabs since most Israelis are Jewish and most Arabs are Muslim. However, there are many Muslim Israelis and Christian Arabs and Christian Israelis. For a discussion of the other numerous causes of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, see the Related Question.
The Arabs and the Israelis.
It created a Jewish state on land that most Arabs believed rightfully belonged to the Palestinians. It did not lead to ongoing tensions between the Arabs and Israelis. The tension had already been there. The creation of Israel gave the Arabs a political entity on which to focus there ambivalence.
