⭐ Core Definition: Mount Scopus

Mount Scopus is a mountain located in Jerusalem with an elevation of 826 meters (2,710 ft) above sea level. Between the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, it was an internationally protected exclave of Israel within Jordan, as it was geographically part of Jordan's East Jerusalem, but politically part of Israel's West Jerusalem. It is home to the main campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Hadassah Medical Center. Since the collapse of the City Line in 1967, the area now lies within Jerusalem's Israeli municipal boundaries.

Mount Scopus in the context of East Jerusalem

East Jerusalem (Arabic: القدس الشرقية, romanizedal-Quds ash-Sharqiya; Hebrew: מִזְרַח יְרוּשָׁלַיִם, romanizedMizraḥ Yerushalayim) is the portion of Jerusalem that was held by Jordan after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, as opposed to West Jerusalem, which was held by Israel. Captured and occupied in 1967, this area was unilaterally annexed by Israel in 1980. The United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations consider East Jerusalem a part of the Palestinian territories according to international law, and under illegal occupation by Israel. Many states recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine (such as Brazil, China, Russia, and all 57 members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation), whereas other states (such as Australia, France and others) assert that East Jerusalem "will be the capital of Palestine", while referring to it as "an occupied territory". In 2020, East Jerusalem had a population of 595,000 inhabitants, of whom 361,700 (61%) were Palestinian Arabs and 234,000 (39%) were Jewish Israelis. Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem are illegal under international law and in the eyes of the international community.

Jerusalem was envisaged as a separate, international city under the 1947 UN partition plan. It was, however, divided by the 1948 war that followed Israel's declaration of independence. As a result of the 1949 Armistice Agreements, the city's western half came under Israeli control, while its eastern half, containing the famed Old City, fell under Jordanian control, at the exception of Mount Scopus enclave. Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War; since then, the entire city has been under Israeli control. The 1980 Jerusalem Law declared unified Jerusalem the capital of Israel, formalizing the effective annexation of East Jerusalem. Palestinians and many in the international community consider East Jerusalem to be the future capital of the State of Palestine. The status of Jerusalem has been described as "one of the most intractable issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict", with conflicting claims to sovereignty over the city or parts of it, and access to its holy sites.

Mount Scopus in the context of Hadassah Medical Center

Hadassah Medical Center (Hebrew: הָמֶרְכָּז הָרְפוּאִי הֲדַסָּה) is an Israeli medical organization established in 1934 that operates two university hospitals in Jerusalem (one in Ein Karem and one in Mount Scopus) as well as schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and pharmacology affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Its declared mission is to extend a "hand to all, without regard for race, religion or ethnic origin."

The hospital was founded by the Hadassah Women's Zionist Organization of America, which continues to underwrite a large part of its budget today. The Medical Center ranks as the sixth-largest hospital complex in Israel. Across its two campuses, Hadassah Medical Center has over 1,300 beds, 31 operating theaters and nine special intensive care units, and runs five schools of medical professions.

Mount Scopus in the context of City Line (Jerusalem)

In Jerusalem, the "City Line" was a 7-kilometre (4.3 mi) segment of the Green Line that divided the city between Israel and Jordan as part of the 1949 Armistice Agreements, which ended the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. On one side was West Jerusalem, which was part of Israel, and on the other side was East Jerusalem, which was part of the Jordanian-annexed West Bank; East Jerusalem also included the Old City and the Israeli exclave of Mount Scopus. Additionally, a "Demilitarized Area" surrounding the British Government House was controlled by the United Nations. The City Line had numerous fortifications and obstacles on both sides, and various buildings in the city that were situated along the boundary were used as military posts. This arrangement was in place until the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, when Israel captured the entirety of Jerusalem. In 1988, six years before the Israel–Jordan peace treaty, the Jordanian government formally renounced the country's territorial claim to Jerusalem in favour of supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state, though the Jordanian Waqf continues to exercise authority over the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City. Pursuant to the two-state solution laid out by the Oslo Accords, East Jerusalem has been sought by the Palestine Liberation Organization as the capital city of the State of Palestine.
