It's sacred to followers of the three major monotheistic religions. It is home to the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the world for Jews, who come from around the world to pray at the Western Wall, the last remaining supporting wall of the biblical temple. Muslims revere the same plateau as the Noble Sanctuary, where the Al Aqsa mosquestands as the third-holiest place in Islam, after holy cites of Makkah and Madinah. Not far away in Jerusalem's Old City is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which Christians revere as the site of Jesus's tomb. When the United Nations voted in 1947 to divide British-ruled Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states, it didn't want either side controlling occupied Jerusalem, due to its religious resonance. Instead, it set aside the city as an international zone to be administered by a UN council of trustees.
Not really. Vatican officials have periodically called for an "internationally guaranteed special statute" for occupied Jerusalem. However, the US, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations, acting collectively to advance peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have embraced the position that it's up to the two sides to negotiate the status of occupied Jerusalem. Trump clarified after recognising that occupied Jerusalem is Israel's capital that the US takes no position on "the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in occupied Jerusalem." The issue has been among the knottiest in peace talks since the first Israeli-Palestinian accord, the 1993 Oslo agreement. Palestinians insist the city must be their capital and have picked a spot to build their parliament in east Jerusalem's Abu Dis neighbourhood. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government says occupied Jerusalem will remain the "undivided and eternal capital" of the Jewish people.
