Beit Safafa

The southern part was in the Jordanian-occupied West Bank, while the northern part, originally in no man's land, was transferred to Israel with the signing of 1949 armistice agreement, and was later annexed to Jerusalem by Israel.

Until 1967, the southern two-thirds were under Jordanian rule and the northern third under Israeli rule.
