The Palestinian Higher Judicial Council, headed by Supreme Judge Sheikh Tayseer Tamimi, released a statement calling on “Palestinian people everywhere, especially those who live in Jerusalem and in other cities inside Israel,” to head to Jerusalem to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque from Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups, which the statement said planned a raid on the compound following the synagogue rededication.
Tamimi accused Israeli leaders of plotting to lay the cornerstone of the “Third Temple,” following the rededication, in what he called the first move in the planned destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam.

Jerusalem sheikh, Abdullah Alqam, delivered a speech at the event urging Palestinians from all corners to take up the mantle of responsibility for Islam's third holiest site, and the center of Palestinian Muslim heritage.

And watching TV, I just heard Abu Ala claim that the Hurva Synagogue was purposefully built higher than the Dome of the Rock.
Stupid. The Jewish Quarter is topographically higher than the Haram compound, which just happens to be the site of the First and Second Temples, and so cannot except be higher.
