The Cave of the Patriarchs does not belong to the Arabs

Some claim that the cave of the fold belongs to Jews and Arabs alike, because our father Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, - but this claim is also completely false and has no merit.

After all, the Arabs are not descendants of Ishmael, most of the Arabs come from different nations, such as Africa, Armenia and more, and only a small part of them is Mishmael. But the main thing is that even Ishmael himself has no affiliation with the Cave of the Patriarchs, and the reason for this is simple: Sarah, as explicitly stated in the written Torah, and everyone admits that the Arabs have nothing to do with Sarah.

The Arabs have no relation to Sarah and have nothing to do with her. And since the cave was bought for Sarah's burial, it is clear that it belongs to the seed of Isaac her son, and has nothing to do with the seed of Ishmael.

The gentile claim helps:

When the strange idea of dividing the Cave of the Patriarchs was first published, one Arab stood up with a 'winning' claim: since more than a thousand years have already passed since they (the Arabs) have been praying there, how is it possible to divide the cave and take a part of it from them?!

And come to it yourself: he himself admits that his entire connection to the Cave of the Patriarchs is only a little over 1000 years, but before that, the cave had no connection with the Arabs.

,

More than that: there could be no possibility for them to have any connection with the cave, since the whole reality of the "Ishmael religion" has only existed for only fourteen hundred years.

It was found that in this claim by the Arab himself, lies the clear answer that refutes the claim completely, and it is itself proof that there is no reason to take from Israel even a part of the ownership of the Cave of the Patriarchs, much less from this claim itself: if, as they say, it is impossible to take a share of the cave from them on the grounds that they have already been there for over a thousand years -- all the more so that it is easy to take part of the cave from Israel, whose ownership is several thousand years old, before the whole reality of the Ishmael religion was even created.
