Jerusalem, Israel. 25th October, 2016. The Temple Mount Sifting Project continues sifting through debris dug up by the Muslim Waqf on Temple Mount and dumped in the Kidron Valley in the midst of international controversy on the implications of UNESCO's recent Occupied Palestine draft decision, approved at committee stage in Paris on October 13, 2016.
