The Palestinian Authority is a sub-national body with hampered jurisdiction even within the Palestinian Territories, let alone Israel proper. Jordan is the custodian of the sites because, unlike the PA, it is a full member of the United Nations with full diplomatic recognition in Israel, and the ability to negotiate as an equal nation state.

So no, not pathetic. Rather the best of a bad situation.
