East Jerusalem - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there personal security concerns to be aware of at this post? Please describe.
To be realistic, there are not too many security concerns in East Jerusalem. In the East, you will not be a target of a suicide bombing, although you will still have to worry about that when you go to shop or out to eat out in West Jerusalem. There are Israeli army checkpoints, but the ones in Jerusalem are not dangerous, especially for foreigners, and you will learn to take routes that avoid them anyway. - May 2006
