<div id="ygrps-yiv-852249612">The status of Mount Scopus between 1948 and 1967 was a source of <br/>
considerable controversy and friction. Officially it was a <br/>
demilitarised zone under UN administration, the aim of which was to <br/>
facilitate the normal functioning of cultural and humanitarian <br/>
institutions, including the Hebrew University, Hadassah hospital <br/>
(used mainly by Jews) and Augusta Victoria hospital (used mainly by <br/>
Arabs). In practice Israeli forces gradually took control of most of <br/>
Mount Scopus and Israel has frequently claimed sovereignty over the <br/>
area. Personally, I think the legal status of the &#39;enclave&#39; is far <br/>
from clear and it will be very interesting to see how it is <br/>
addressed when a final territorial settlement is eventually reached <br/>
by Israel and Palestine.<br/>

&gt; The &quot;enclave&quot; is the Jordanian area of the<br/>
&gt; demilitarized zone near Mount Scopus which was (I<br/>
&gt; guess) an enclave of Israel. </span></blockquote></div>
