ABSTRACT
In keeping with the overall theme of this volume, this chapter provides a broad survey of the issues of ‘territorial management’ as they relate to Palestinians and Jews in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza territories, and the city of Jerusalem. This affords a brief general overview, emphasizing in particular spatial and other types of separation, as well as majority-minority political relationships, between Jews and Arabs. Attention is then focused upon the various forms of political exchange that came into being in Jerusalem in the period between 1967 and the present. Jerusalem is important not only since it has both practical and symbolic significance in the overall Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but also because of its position as a large city where Jews and Arabs live and interact on a continuing, daily basis.
