Sacred Sites

An Israeli-Palestinian team initially conducted research on 14 sites, deemed sacred by Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Due to political circumstances the team could no longer complete the work. Consequently, IHJR compiled existing material and wrote a report on the three following sites. These sites include:

1. Al Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount
2. Cave of the Patriarchs/Cave of Machpelah: Sanctuary of Ibrahim/Ibrahimi Mosque
3. Kever Shmuel/Nabi Samu’il
