And the treaties after WW1 made clear that Ottomans had no claim to Jerusalem, and Muslims outside the British Mandate did not get any specific claim either.Well theoretically would go if we can jump several centuries later but i think religious fanatics(of all three sects) would nuke all of us but here’s one important detail you haven’t said first al aqsa should become in theory a jewish temple and then converted into museum that’s the historical path of hagia sophia
Anyway these discussions are worthless cause apparently no one is asking ordinary people like you and me what should they do about future of al aqsa basically they(most powerful people/state/governments) always put fait acompli in front of us(normal people)
It’s important to stress that hagia sophia is only turkish ( once a mosque museum nowadays) it does not belong to other muslims of course every muslim and christian can pray if he/she wants but that’s the facts about it i will remind you that lausanne treaty(international) says that ottoman empire history belongs only to Turkey
Arab kurdish armenian greek and other non-turkish historians/nationalists/even ordinary people consider ottoman state to be turkish then you cannot claim what’s good as yours but at the same time spread hate against ottomans/turks
So the talk about 1,7 B Muslims are bogus in regards of Jerusalem.
They might consider it holy, but have no right to it, according to your reasoning.
