Translated to Arabic «The Ownership of the U.S. Embassy Site in Jerusalem»(2000), a study by Palestinian historian, writer and founder of 'The Institute for Palestine Studies', Walid al-Khalidi (b. 1925, Jerusalem), with translation of Samirah Na'im Khuri. One of the most difficult issues of the final status negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians is Jerusalem. The complexity of this issue has been compounded by U.S. actions to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and by allegations that the prospective site of the embassy is Palestinian refugee property confiscated by Israel since 1948.
