The tomb of the biblical and qur’anic figure Joseph (Yusef in Arabic and Yosef in Hebrew) is located in the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank. Joseph’s tomb is revered by Jews, Muslims and Christians as Joseph’s traditional burial site. Per the Oslo Accords, both Israel and the Palestinian Authority are required to protect the rights of worship and access of Jews, Christians, Muslims and Samaritans to the site. One of the most hotly contested religious sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, the tomb has been the site of recurring incidents of violence. In 2000, after a violent incidence with a Palestinian mob, Israel handed full control of the site over to the Palestinian police. The Israeli army still provides security for Jews wanting to visit the site. In 2011, a group of Jewish Israelis began making regular unauthorized visits to the tomb.
