Arabs praying on the Temple Mount.

sources insist that a representa-
tive of the Jordanian-supported
Waqf in Jerusalem had been in-
formed a week ahead of time, the
Jordanians countered that the
official in question was part of
the rival Palestinian Waqf, not
of the king.
At least one lesson learned
was expressed this week in Mr.
Netanyahu's treatment of the
other fuse that has been burning
on the Temple Mount —
Solomon's Stables.
Situated at the southeastern
corner of the Temple Mount, the
series of arched, subterranean
halls has been described by a
leading architect as "part of the
[Herodian construction] work to
widen the Temple Mount court-
yard." Workers are building a
huge retaining wall and "a sys-
tem of subterranean open struc-
tures" to reduce the pressure on
it, he noted.
For centuries, these under-
ground vaults were used for stor-
age. During the 12th century
Crusader period, they were con-
verted into stables for the knight-
ly Order of Solomon's Temple —
thus their current name. More
recently, the Waqf has held the
only key to the gate leading to
the stables. Muslims claim that
in the past the area served as an
Islamic prayer hall. Historians
and archaeologists have failed to
substantiate this.
The decision to allow Solomon's
Stables — formerly a tourist at-
traction—to be used as a prayer
hall was taken last January by
Shimon Peres' government as a
planned trade-off for opening an
exit to the Hasmonean tunnel.
The stables were to be used only
when the holy month of Ramadan
fell during the rainy season, ac-
comodating the large number of
worshippers who could not fit into
the nearby al-Aqsa Mosque.
Early last February, two
weeks after the security cabinet
had approved the deal cut by the
Jerusalem police chief and the
Waqf, a letter was sent by the
Palestinians stating that no un-
derstanding existed. The prayer
