Jerusalem
Jerusalem
(; ; ), located on a plateau in the
Judean Mountains
between the
Mediterranean
and the
Dead Sea
, is one of the
oldest cities in the world
. It is considered
holy
to the three major
Abrahamic religions
—
Judaism
,
Christianity
and
Islam
.
Israelis
and
Palestinians
both claim Jerusalem as their capital, as
Israel
maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the
State of Palestine
ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.
