Interesting you should say that. I’ve visited there and it’s a remarkable place. At the time I was reading a Tom Clancy novel and he had the same thought for all of Jerusalem. To make peace, he wrote, it should be protected by the Swiss Guard from the Vatican
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre’s keys have been in the hands of a Muslim family for centuries to prevent Christians from different denominations from murdering each other, so there’s already a precedent for it.

So the Christians should take control?
This meme seems oddly relevant to this discussion.
That was Clancy’s idea of the best of alternatives

Riiiiiiiiight

I remember they can’t even decide by them selves :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yznFT4-2dKI
Wouldn’t be the first time Romans took control over Israelis
Actually the Swiss Guard is…ah…Swiss.
