Please replace "Jerusalem (/dʒəˈruːsələmˌ -zə-/ jə-ROO-sə-ləm, -⁠zə-; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim, pronounced [jeʁuʃaˈlajim] ⓘ; Arabic: القُدس al-Quds, pronounced [al.quds]" by "Jerusalem (/dʒəˈruːsələmˌ -zə-/ jə-ROO-sə-ləm, -⁠zə-; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim, pronounced [jeʁuʃaˈlajim] ⓘ;Arabic: اورشليم, Ûrshalîm, Modern Arabic: القُدس al-Quds, pronounced [al.quds]"

The modern Arabic name of Jerusalem is اَلْـقُـدْس al-Quds, and its first recorded use can be traced to the 9th century CE, two hundred years after the Muslim conquest of the city. Christians arab still use the اورشليم (Ûrshalîm) name 202.22.226.143 (talk) 10:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Third lede paragraph
The third lede paragraph, dealing with religious importance, does not summarize the body. It is better for the religious importance part to be summarized briefly and inserted in the second lede paragraph which deals with history which would be then divided into two paragraphs.

Also, the ICJ ruling has declared the territories of the West Bank including East Jerusalem and the Gaza strip to be a single political unit; as the Palestinians have long argued. Accordingly, the opening sentence should reflect this; portraying West Jerusalem as part of Israel, and East Jerusalem as part of the OPT since 1967 that was illegally annexed according to international law (not according to only Palestinians).

add Cambridge History of Judaism page 440 2nd paragraph about Jewish resettlement in Jerusalem from Tiberias in 636-638 pre-dating the Islamic conquest which officially allowed Jews back into the city Hectorhako (talk) 15:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Not done. The Islamic conquest began in 634 so the existing source, "With the Muslim conquest, Jews were allowed back into the city", appears to be correct. Selfstudier (talk) 18:40, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * it is cited in the Siege of Jerusalem (636–637)  article that the siege began in 636 and surrender in 638 Hectorhako (talk) 23:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
