Mandelbaum Gate falls as Jerusalem unites traffic bottleneck clears
The Mandelbaum Gate, a 149 year old road barrier between Israeli and Jordanian Jerusalem, is being dismantled. Mayor Teddy Kollek says the city is now united and the gate’s removal widens the road for heavy traffic. The crossing previously served about 6000 Christian Arabs each Christmas for pilgrimages to Bethlehem and other holy sites.
