Jerusalem, İsrail Güncel Saati — IST.

Jerusalem is a city in the Southern Levant, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital city; Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there, while Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Neither claim is widely recognised internationally.

Reading Jerusalem against the global hubs: Dubai (~2,087 km), London (~3,610 km), Singapore (~7,916 km) are the close ones, with Sydney (~14,130 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.

Jerusalem sits inside İsrail — the Western Asia subregion, capital Jerusalem, languages Arabic, Hebrew, currency ILS (₪).

The closest mapped neighbors of Jerusalem are West Jerusalem (1 km), Giv`at H̱ananya (2 km), Old City (2 km), East Jerusalem (2 km), so commuter, logistics and same-day-trip planning will usually pull from this cluster.

In 2004, CBS News releases evidence of the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse. The photographs show rape and abuse from the American troops over Iraqi detainees.
