Mandelbaum Gate information


Israeli policemen meet a Jordanian legionnaire near the Mandelbaum Gate

The Mandelbaum Gate is a former checkpoint between the Israeli and Jordanian sectors of Jerusalem, just north of the western edge of the Old City along the Green Line. The first checkpoint for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan/Israel Mixed Armistice Commission at the Mandelbaum Gate, from the close of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War in 1949 until August 1952, was moved from the Israeli side of the Gate to the Demilitarised Zone after the "Barrel Incident".[1] The second checkpoint existed until the 1967 Six-Day War. The Gate became a symbol of the divided status of the city.
