This measure of joint control over the site has been problematic as both the Israeli and Muslim authorities are pushed by both of their constituencies to dramatize and unambiguously assert their measure of influence over the area(s), and at times, to deny the other side, freedoms that they are now permitted but rarely exercise.
The result, in the eyes of most observers, is that Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians interpreted Sharon's decision as arrogant and provocative and as a result, a Palestinian uprising ocurred, now commonly referred to as the "Al Aqsa Intifada" –; named after the Muslim Mosque in Jerusalem.
But issues like the Noble Sanctuary/Temple Mount cannot be resolved by the Palestinians and Israelis with a U.S. intermediary or by Palestinians or Jews in foreign lands.
