Why was Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem set in fire and by whom?
Al-Aqsa Mosque was set in fire by Jewish
because they want to demolish it and replace it with what they call Solomon's Teple which is a fake purpose and all what they want is to take Jerusalem from Muslims by taking down a great Islamic symbol such as Al-Aqsa
Why Israel want to destroys the Al Aqsa mosque?
Because The State of Israel was established by Theodore Herzl and his fellow Zionists,with the Financial and political backing of the Rothschild Family(then the most prominent Jewish, and still are) and the liberal British govt, that the Jews and Zionists alike will have a safer place after they finished their punishing exodus and separation from Canaan(Palestine), which has been promised by GOD to Abraham and Moses in the book of Revelations. So The Jewish state believes that Palestinians are related more closely to the biblical barbarian philistines(they were Africans perhaps, these ones are Arab settled after Saladin's victory in the Crusades), and should be destroyed or chased back to the Arabian hinterland with their religion, and that can only be achieved by destroying the Al Aqsa(said to be the descending point of Jannat for Prophet Muhammad), and occupying the township of Jerusalem and Hebron, both which hold greater prominence in the Torah than Quran and Bible.Thanks to its robust Military and Nukes, Israel will remain unbeaten by its enemies even if it decided to destroy that monument in the future.

What city does both israel and palestine consider their capital?
Jerusalem is the current and the ancient capital of Israel. The parliament of Israel, the national library, the High Court of Justice, the national museum, main university, and many other national institutions are in Jerusalem. While there is no state called Palestine at this time, there is a claim to Jerusalem made by many Arabs in the region of what was the League of Nations/United Nations Mandate of Palestine which was under British administation until 1948. The presence of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosques on the ancient Temple Mount, and the status of Jerusalem as the 3rd Holy city of Islam, are considered the basis for current Arab claims to Jerusalem in the event that a sovereign country called Palestine is created. The Muslim Arab people who have become known as Palestinians since the mid-20th century date their claim to Jerusalem as a capital to the dramatic rise of Israel in the 20th century, especially since UN-recognized statehood in 1948. During the roughly 1300 years of Muslim Arab and Turkish domination, Jerusalem was never designated as a national capital, nor was it a de facto political center for any people, save for a period of Catholic Crusader domination as the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is called Al-Kuds in Arabic, and both Jews and Arabs currently live there with much tension, but, for the most part, with little actual violence, in contrast to the international media portrayal. Israel allows Muslim control (by the Waqf) of the mosques on the Temple Mount.
Judas Maccabaeus was a High Priest and the first of the Hasmonean Rulers of Judaea, from about 168-161BCE. He and his Hasmonean brothers, who succeeded him, expanded the territory of Judaea west to include most of the cities on the Palestinian coast, east to the Jordan River, south to Idumaea (at the southern end of the Dead Sea) and north to Samaria and Galilee. However, Judaea was not an independent nation during his reign, but a Seleucid dependency, so any control over the Gentile territories was still theoretically subject to decisions from Damascus.
