	HISTORY OF JERUSALEM
		It was his intention to transform Jerusalem into a Greek metropolis and his desecration of the Temple that provoked a Jewish insurrection; the ensuing revolt, headed by the Hasmonaeans and led by Judah Maccabee, succeeded in liberating Jerusalem.
		Jerusalem was governed by Roman procurators residing in Caesarea, and ceased to function as the capital of Judea -- although the municipal government remained in the hands of the Jewish high priest and Sanhedrin (rabbinical council), which fulfilled the functions of a municipal council.
		Jerusalem was established as the capital of the Latin Kingdom in the Holy Land.

	Jerusalem Issues and the Final Status Negotiations
		Jerusalem is a political city, and as such is connected to the issue of Palestinian sovereignty, to the people and to their right to define themselves as part of the Palestinian body, participating in governmental, social and political security as well as diplomatic relationships.

		Jerusalem is a border city, distinct from neighboring political entities and lies on the north-south axis of the West Bank in the geographical center of Palestine.

	Jerusalem - Under Oslo
		Jerusalem is the most politically complex, religiously sensitive and emotionally loaded issue of the myriad of difficult issues to be determined in the final status negotiations.

		Jerusalem was to be an international city, or corpus separatum, according to UN General Assembly Resolution 181.
