Ma'ale ha-Zeitim
Ma'ale Ha-zeitim is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem that is located on a mountain called Mount of Olives. It is a place that is historically significant to Jews, as it is believed that when the Messiah comes, he will enter Jerusalem through the eastern gate, which is located nearby.
During the 20th century, Jews started to move into the area and build homes. However, during the period when Jordan controlled East Jerusalem (from 1948 to 1967), Jews were not allowed to live in the area.
After the 1967 Six Day War, Israel captured East Jerusalem, including Ma'ale Ha-zeitim. Jews started to move back into the neighborhood and build more homes.
However, this has caused controversy, as Palestinians and some in the international community argue that Jews moving into the area is a violation of international law and impedes efforts for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In summary, Ma'ale Ha-zeitim is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem that is significant to Jews, but its settlement by Jews is a contentious issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
