Easter is a good time to reflect on what the Temple Mount means for the three Abrahamic faiths, especially in the wake of the 7 October attack by Hamas on Israel and all that has come to pass since.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound contains within it the famous Dome of the Rock which still dominates the Jerusalem skyline and has occupied what was the empty Temple Mount since 691.
