The article doesn't quite say what the headline says. Instead, it quotes the Grand Imam of Al Azhar's claims that Jerusalem was founded in 4000 BCE by Jebusites, whom he says were Arabs.
Well, Jerusalem was a city around 1800 BCE, hundreds of years before David, but the Hebrew Scripture agrees that he conquered an existing city. But the Jebusites were not Arab by any definition.
In fact, outside Scripture, there is no record of the Jebusites at all. Archaeology says that Jerusalem (Urusalim) was itself a city/state in Canaan mentioned in Egyptian ritual curse pottery, and the 14th century BCE Amarna letters show correspondence between Jerusalem King Abdi-Heba and Pharaoh Akhenaten.
The entire Palestinian pretense of being descended from Canaanites is a fiction, Canaanites were not Arabs. Some Palestinians do descend from the Levant, but it is probably a minority given how many of today's Palestinians immigrated from places like Egypt, Turkey, Morocco and Yemen in the last couple of centuries, mostly under Ottoman rule.
So when the Grand Imam of Al Azhar pretends to use archeology, he is lying. When he pretends to use the Hebrew Scriptures, he is lying, too. And when he pretends to use genealogy, he is lying yet again.
