Is there a rule that a mayor of Jerusalem must be Catholic?
No. The mayor of united Jerusalem has been a Jew ever since Israel passed the Jerusalem Unification Law. Prior to that, Jerusalem had several mayors in different districts, most of whom were Jewish and some who were Muslim. Prior to 1967, East Jerusalem had a Jordanian Muslim mayor and West Jerusalem had an Israeli Jewish mayor. While the mayor of Jerusalem has consistently been Jewish since 1980, there is no rule on the books that prohibits a person of any other religion (most likely Muslim) from being the mayor. It is unlikely, though, given that Jews represent over 60% of the city's population, that a non-Jew would be elected.
Do Muslims believe in the Jewish construction of the Third Temple?

When do scholars think it likely the Babylonian Captivity occurred?
A:Historians regard the following dates as firm, given a margin of perhaps one year or so: Jerusalem surrendered in 597 BCE, and thousands were deported, but Babylonian control over Jerusalem was short-lived.Babylon again besieged Jerusalem and in 586 BCE a substantial part of the remaining population of Jerusalem was deported. This is considered to be the start of the Babylonian Exile.Some Jewish religious scholars place the Babylonian Captivity later than this, thereby resolving certain contradictions in the Bible.Archaeologists and other scholars support the historical view.
