Jerusalem could become the world capital of peace, hosted by both Israel and Palestine, if the United Nations moved some of its agencies to the city, as suggested by a Palestinian policymaker.

"The proposal is to move one-third of the United Nations’ institutions to Jerusalem, into a small area outside the city that would be under international jurisdiction. The UN agencies that could be transferred to Jerusalem include essentially the headquarters of all peacekeeping forces, UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO and UNTWO — all those agencies with relevance to international peacemaking. Such a move would transform Jerusalem into the world capital of peace, hosted by both Israel and Palestine."
