Many Palestinians seem to think this is a plot to undermine the integrity of the site of the mosque, Islam's number 3 holy site. However, the Israeli's claim it is simple maintainence work. who is right?

Remember the 31st rule of being an Evil Overlord, innocent improvments are always the best cover for sinister ploys.

Maintenance. I think the Israelis should stop working and then when the ramp falls down and the Temple Mount loses one of the ways to get in, then we'll see who was right. But then again, the Palestinians will probably say that the Israelis purposefully didn't restore it.

To tell the truth and be honest , I couldn't care less what the Israeli's do over there or what the Palestinians think or feel.To me the Israeli's should be able to do whatever they want, and it is a grace that they have not blown up that unholy building.The Palestinians have shown themselves to be unreasonable haters.
Let me get this straight, it was ok for the Muslims to come in there and build a unholy buil;ding on top of the Jewish temple ground in order to humiliate the Jews and announce their own superiority, but it is not ok for Jews because? The reasoning of muslims as I see it, is that they are always right because they are muslims and they are supposed to be in charge of Jews and Christians beceause their koran says so, that is the reaosn for their outcry, because they consider anything and everything that does not entail them winning as a humiliation and want everyone to side with them. I have no sympathy with them at all.

Maintenance and restorative repair work.
Israel's Ministry of Antiquities oversees all work at or near any historical landmarks. The Ministry's guidelines for preserving holy sites are the strictest in the world, regardless of whether it's a Jewish, Catholic, Christian, or Muslim site.
The Muslims' greatest fear is that some artifact might be unearthed that would disprove Islam's claim to the Temple Mount. I personally find it interesting that Islam would prefer to allow the site to deteriorate rather than protect it and restore it.

I don't know who is right...Israelis never gave Palestinians any reason to trust them,so I think it's fair to question some things...But the Israeli officials say the work would not harm the structure of the mosque and unfortunately no one can prove that it does,because there are low chances that Israel would let someone from outside to actually inspect the sites... So I guess we'll have to believe them that nothing is going to happen...

Israelis are right. You can't listen to anything a Palestinian says about Israel. They are insanely biased against Israel.
If Israel dug a well for Palestinians to get water from The Palestinians wouldn't thank them they would accuse Israel of giving them poisoned water.

yes, that makes sense. in order to tick off the muslims, the jews are going to deliberately undermine the holiest site in our religion, just because there's a mosque nearby that we want to vandalize.
