It’s no secret that the city of Jerusalem is one of the most fought-over territories in history. There have been very few truly peaceful times when it comes to Jerusalem in the past hundreds of years. Now, the main dispute surrounding the city is between the Israelis and Palestinians. Both countries consider the city to be their political capital as well as the center of their respective faiths.

It has been a heated and bloody political conflict that almost seems to have no end. Although currently, Israel controls the entire city. That doesn’t sit well with Palestine. What most people are hoping for is a peaceful resolution with western Jerusalem given for Israel and an eastern Jerusalem for Palestine. But such a peaceful resolution doesn’t seem likely.
