The most significant issue with regard to the Temple Mount/Dome of the Rock is that any controversy with the site tends to negatively impact international relations in the area. In 2010, Arab scholars released a study declaring that the Western Wall was not part of the holy Jewish temple at all, but part of the al-Aqsa Mosque. The US State Department called the study "factually incorrect, insensitive, and highly provocative." Why might controversy over this site cause problems internationally?
