Jerusalem

by Henry Cattan

Overview

Home to three major religions, Jerusalem has long been an intensely contested city. As the leaders of the Middle East attempt to forge a lasting peace in the region, this holy place is likely to emerge as the focus of negotiations and bone of contention of the peace process. Cattan argues that Israeli intransigence on the issue of Jerusalem is likely to prove perilous to peace and stability in the Middle East.

Author Biography: Henry Cattan was a renowned international jurist that represented the Palestinian Arabs.
