Introduction
Jerusalem is a city of many, often competing, definitions. It is a
spiritual center for Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, the "reunified"
capital of the State of Israel, and the focus of Palestinian
aspirations for political independence.
Greater Jerusalem
In 1995 an Israeli inter-ministerial committee finalized a new
large-scale development plan for a region covering 40 percent of the
West Bank and an equal percentage of its Palestinian residents.
