The Fifth Crusade (1217–1221) was an attempt to take back Jerusalem and the rest of Holy Land by first conquering the powerful Ayyubid state in Egypt.
They left for Acre in 1217, and joined John of Brienne, ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Hugh I of Cyprus, and Prince Bohemund IV of Antioch to fight against the Ayyubids in Syria.
In Jerusalem, the walls and fortifications were demolished to prevent the Christians from being able to defend the city if they should reach it and take it.

 Sixth Crusade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acre, as the nominal capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the seat of the Latin Patriarchate, was split in its support for Frederick.
Legally, however, he was actually regent for his son Conrad II of Jerusalem, only child of Yolande and the grandson of Maria of Montferrat and John of Brienne, who had been born shortly before Frederick left in 1228.
The truce expired in 1239 and Jerusalem was taken by the Mamluks in 1244, but now that Frederick had set the precedent, further crusades would be launched by individual kings such as Louis IX of France (the Seventh and Eighth Crusades) and Edward I of England (the Ninth Crusade) without papal involvement.

 Orthodox Church of Jerusalem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, properly called the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, is regarded by Orthodox Christians as the mother church of all of Christendom, because it was in Jerusalem that the Church was established on the day of Pentecost with the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus Christ.
The Orthodox Church of Jerusalem remains the custodian of many of the holy sites in Jerusalem and environs, sometimes jointly with the Roman Catholic church and the oriental churches of the Egyptian Coptics and Armenian Orthodox Christians.
On August 22, 2005, the Holy Synod of the Church of Jerusalem unanimously elected Theofilos III, the former Archbishop of Tabor, as the 141st Patriarch of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem's Old City is quartered off into ethnic sections: the Jewish Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Muslim Quarter and the Armenian Quarter.

Jerusalem occupies a unique status in the life of Palestinians ;not only because of its religious importance, but also because of the historic role the city has played in Palestinian economic, social and cultural life.
Jerusalem remained under British military control from 1917 until 1920,and in 1922 the League of Nations ratified the colonial dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire and gave Palestine to Britain as a semi-colonial "mandate."During the 26 years of the British Mandate,an increasingly numerous and well-organized Zionist immigrant community pushed for a Jewish state in Palestine.
Jerusalem was the first qibla (direction of prayer)in Islam, before it was switched this to Mecca.Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock were built on that site and became the third holiest site in Islam.

 Significance of Jerusalem
In addition, Jerusalem has had a prominent historical role, as the only capital of a Jewish state, and is the only city with a Jewish majority during the whole of the past century.
Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Qur'an and did not occupy any special role in Islam long after Mohammed's death.
This association of Jerusalem with al-masjid al-aqsa fit into a wider Muslim tendency to identify place names found in the Qur'an with locations they coveted, and then to claim it and build a mosque to replace whatever was there before.

However, under the Seleucids of Syria attempts to introduce Hellenistic worship in Jerusalem led to the Hasmonean revolt of 165 BCE and the restoration of Jewish worship in the temple in 164 under the reign of Judah Maccabee.
This fifth century temple was the second temple; the first temple, built by Solomon in the middle of the tenth century BCE, was destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BCE.
In 1922 Jews were residing largely in urban areas, in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, and Jaffa, in the Jerusalem-Jaffa corridor, along the coast of the Mediterranean, and in the north.

 JERUSALEM - Whose City?
That Jerusalem is "holy to the three monotheistic religions" is a frequent assertion by those who wish to make the city's status the subject of negotiation.
East Jerusalem, one fifth of the built-up area of the city, was incorporated by Israel, and the city was given new municipal boundaries.
A pattern for Jerusalem's future may be seen in Israel's present willingness to permit several aspects of Palestinian national activity to be directed from the city, and to allow leading members of the former enemy, the PLO, to pray on the Temple Mount and to conduct negotiations in the city.

 Fifth Crusade, 1218-1221
Jerusalem itself was at this point under Egyptian control, and the crusader plan was to attack Egypt in order to force the hand over of key areas of Palestine.
Early in 1218, the crusade finally moved, landing at Damietta, to find themselves facing Malik al-Kamil, the son of the sultan, and a future sultan himself, with perhaps 70,000 men, twice the number of crusaders.
Having had the chance to gain Jerusalem, the crusaders were now forced to accept Egyptian terms, surrendering Damietta in return for a few relics, of little value to the Moslem Egyptians, and safe passage back to the coat.

And seeking after things on high, Early Christians were not concerned with Jerusalem, which they left before it was captured by the Romans in 70 A.D. Their Saviour was in heaven and here His tomb is empty.
