Al-Marsad newspaper: Professor of History and Politics, Dr. Roy Casagrande, revealed what Omar bin Al-Khattab did with the Jews following he entered Jerusalem.

He continued: This city is sacred to the Jews as well, and they must have a share in it. Then he asked to see the Temple Mount, and Safar and Neos asked him, “Why do you want to see that?” and the Caliph replied, “Because it is a holy place.”
He added: It was the site of the Second Temple of Solomon until the Byzantines destroyed it. Safar and Neos answered, “Yes,” but the Jews would not stop rebellious. They continued to throw stones at the Byzantine soldiers and fight them, and they would attack them in the streets and kill them whenever they had the opportunity, so we desecrated the Temple Mount to punish them.
He went on: The Caliph asked to show them the place, and when he arrived there, he found garbage everywhere on the Temple Mount, noting: For 400 years, they placed garbage on top of the Temple Mount to desecrate and destroy it.
He continued: The Caliph did not believe what he saw, so he began to pick up the garbage, and when the Arab army that was following him to the city saw him, they rushed and began to clean the city and the Temple Mount of garbage, indicating: In this process, they found a chain and a stone that they believed were from the Temple of Solomon II, so they preserved them, and it was completed.
