ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the activity aimed at creating Jewish hegemony at David's Tomb as a part of changing the Status Quo at the place, and the Judaization process of David's Tomb. It discusses the sanctity of Mount Zion in the tradition of the three Abrahamic religions. The three Abrahamic religions are Jews, Christians, and Muslims. In the United Nations Conciliation Commission report, David's Tomb was mentioned as both a mosque as well as a Jewish prayer place, and the Last Supper Room was mentioned as both a mosque and a Christian holy place. The chapter presents the shifts of control over the holy places on Mount Zion during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods and during the period from 1917 to 2015. Mount Zion is one of the main focal points of inter-religious tension in Jerusalem, first and foremost after the Temple Mount/Al-Haram al-Sharif.
