Abu Dis is a town under Palestinian Authority bordering Jerusalem. Abu Dis is due east of the Jerusalem municipal border. It has a population of approximately 12,100 and covers an area of 28,332 dunums. It was once the ancient village of Beit Phaig. According to the UN General Assembly Resolution 194 of 1948, Abu Dis was to be the easternmost part of the corpus separatum Jerusalem area. However, like the rest of the West Bank, it was annexed by Jordan at the end of the British Mandate in 1948. Israel captured it in the 1967 Six-Day War, and since the 1995 signing of the Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip it has been administered by the Palestinian Authority. Construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier along the border between Abu Dis and Jerusalem has made it difficult for Abu Dis residents to access Jerusalem's services without a permit. Makeshift doors have been made by the wall and soon became new waiting areas and checkpoints.
