TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH -- only not. Yasser Arafat's tomb is getting a more permanent-sounding renovation in Ramallah:

The new tomb features a hall, a mosque with marble flooring, and a small pool network and landscaped garden.

Arafat had wanted to be buried in the Muslim cemetery next to the Al-Aksa Mosque on Jerusalem's Temple Mount but Israel, shunning the Palestinian leader for orchestrating an eruption of violence in 2000, denied permission.

The third anniversary of his death is tomorrow.
