Q: Is the holy land of Jerusalem only for Jews? May they be given place for their temple near Aqsa mosque? Is it only for jews? [17:104] After him, We said to the Children of Israel, "Inhabit the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter arrives, We will bring you all together."

A: Bani Israaeel in the aayat refers to the Muslims of that time who were on the right religion. For further details refer to the attached audio.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
