Paragraph 2    Sheikh Badr (Arabic: شيخ بدر‎) was an Arab village on a hilltop in west Jerusalem that was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. During the British Mandate of Palestine it was part of the Jerusalem municipality. A temporary burial ground for Israelis who died during the siege on Jerusalem was established there. Under Israeli rule, the hill was renamed Givat Ram. The Israeli parliament building, the Knesset, was built on the site.
