Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, on 28 September 2,000, was seen for many years as the main incident that sparked an unplanned revolt, leading to the 2nd Intifada.

However, many have since put forward the view that the 2nd Intifada had been planned for many years, with Sharon's visit serving as the convenient scapegoat for violence.
