![Jabel Mukaber (Arabic: Hebrew: ' , also Jabal Mukaber or Jabal Mukkaber) is a predominantly Arab neighborhood located in the southern part of East Jerusalem. It is bordered by the Jewish neighbourhood of Armon Hanatziv[1][2] to the west, the Palestinian town of Beit Sahour to the north and the Arab neighbourhood of Sur Baher to the south. Jabel Mukaber has a population of 14,000.[1] Jabel Mukaber, like other Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem lying outside of the Old City, could become part of the capital of a proposed Palestinian state,[3] [4] although Jabel Mukaber has been branded a hotbed of terrorism and an obstacle to the peace process due to militant activity and support for terrorism among some of residents.](http://cdn0.wn.com/vp/i/b6/8ffaa0992968bf.jpg)
