How Arabs stole Jewish property - Israel Business, Ynetnews: "They changed their mind when (former US President) Bill Clinton stated that an international fund would be established to compensate both sides. Since then, they are hoping that the arrangement won't be at their expense."

Kodesh Hakodashim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kodesh Hakodashim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Traditional Judaism regards the Kodesh Hakodashim as the place where the presence of God dwells. In the wilderness, on the day that the tabernacle was first raised up, the cloud of the Lord covered the tabernacle.

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Kadosh Hakadashim contained the Ark of the Covenant with representation of Cherubim."
