Exploring the Religious Landscape and Conflict in Jerusalem

Jerusalem is a city steeped in religious significance for Jews, Muslims, and Christians, with populations of approximately 5.57 million Jews, 1.24 million Muslims, and 153,100 Christians. Each group has strong religious claims to the land, with key sites like the Wailing Wall for Jews, the Dome of the Rock for Muslims, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher for Christians. The city’s division reflects its complex demographics and the significant obstacles that impede peace, including radical views and deep-rooted beliefs. Understanding these dynamics is essential for addressing Jerusalem's future.
