"Each side believes God gave them The Holy Land, all of it"
It's actually *worse* than that. They are both referring to the *same* gift "event" in Exodus as applying to them. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are essentially the same religion from 30,000 feet, same god, same cosmology + a large body of shared scripture. Christianity is the Greek version, Islam is the Arabic version. (translators added new material, but same core).
That is *why* Jerusalem is a holy site in Islam, because as far as the Muslims are concerned they *are* Israelites, i.e., all of the "history" from Genesis on up through Chronicles, Kings, Maccabees, etc... the entirety of the Hebrew bible is *their* "history", too.
