Jerusalem

Jerusalem (which is known in Aramaic ܐܘܪܫܠܡ , Canaanite, Phoenician 𐤉𐤓𐤅𐤔𐤋𐤌, Egypt Hie 𓄿𓅱𓈙𓄿𓅓𓅓 (ꜣwšꜣmm), Coptic ϩⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ (Hierusalem), Gothic 𐌹𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌿𐍃𐌰𐌿𐌻𐍅𐌼𐌰, Arabic "Al-Quds" ("The Holy") القُدس; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם‎ (Yerushaláyim)) is a city in Israel/Palestine. It has a population of 931,756 (2020) residents over an area of 125.1 square kilometers (48.3 sq mi).

Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli-Arabian conflict. Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem has been repeatedly condemned by the United Nations and related bodies, and Arab Palestinians foresee East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. In the wake of United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 (passed in 1980), most foreign embassies moved out of Jerusalem. Only Guatemala and United States embassies as of now are in Jerusalem

  • Al-Buraq mosque, Matthew Henson (guest) wrote 5 years ago:
    Modern day interior of the Barclay's gate, it's been converted in to a mosque, and most likely out of conveniently available space (just because the space was available) rather than any authentic Islamic tradition attached to it (same case Solomon's stables). https://madainproject.com/al_buraq_mosque_(temple_mount)
