The Temple Mount has been occupied and controlled by the State of Israel since the 1967 war. Both the State of Israel and the Government of Palestine claim ownership of the Temple Mount. Since there are two mosques on the site, The Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, both built about 1300 years ago, it is considered the third most holy site by Moslems. The Temple Mount has been managed by a special Islamic council called a Wakf since 1187 and that continues today.

Everyone is allowed to go to the Temple Mount regardless of their religion. Some Orthodox Jews believe that people should not go there.
