In recognition of the legitimate
claims of all three monotheistic
religions to holy sites in Jerusa-
lem, the Israeli government in
1967 passed the Law for the
Protection of Holy Places. The
law assured freedom of worship
and access to holy sites to mem-
bers of all religions. Some of the
Jewish synagogues in the Old
City which had been destroyed
by the Jordanians were restored.
Urgently needed restoration and
repairs were coordinated in the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
