What is the future of occupied Jerusalem and its fate after the peace treaty with the Jews?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... A fundamental point: What is the future of occupied Jerusalem and its fate after the peace treaty with the Jews?

The Shaykh : There is no peace, there is no peace except in Islam. When you see that Islam has ruled the people, then announce the peace.

The questioner : If Allah wills.

Another questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : But we are certain that the Jews have no authority in Palestine. This is as the Exalted said:
indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking. وإِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:23]
Because the authentic hadiths explicitly state that when the Dajjal emerges in the end times, Isa (peace be upon him) will be in al-Aqsa Mosque, and he will come out against the Dajjal with seventy thousand Jews wearing cloaks. They came with the Dajjal from Isfahan. So Isa is in Jerusalem, and where are the Jews? They will have become a thing of the past. But this is a time, as the Exalted said:
And these days [of varying conditions] We alternate among the people وَتِلْكَ الْأَيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
[Ali 'Imran 3:140]
. The Jews certainly have no authority in Palestine. But who will drive them out? The believing, truly monotheistic Muslims will drive them out. I have a word I said in Sham and I repeat it: We have a hadith from the great glad tidings. The summary of the hadith is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the Muslims glad tidings that they would conquer Constantinople and Rome. Constantinople means Istanbul, and Rome means Rome. The Messenger gave them this great glad tidings. Then a question was asked: "Which of the two cities will we conquer first, Constantinople or Rome?" He said:
No, but Constantinople. لا ، بل قسطنطينية
. And as you know, Constantinople was conquered, so it remains for the Muslims to conquer Rome. But here is the point: I used to say in Damascus that Rome is the capital of the Christians, the center of the Pope. Who will conquer it? The Muslims today? The Muslims today have a village east of Damascus, 15 kilometers away, called Dumah. I used to say: The Muslims today cannot conquer a village like Dumah, let alone conquer a capital like Rome. Conquering Rome requires shaking the shoulders, it requires believing youth who are not distracted by trade or selling from the remembrance of Allah and the establishment of prayer. And perhaps that will be soon.
