The Hill of Evil Counsel, Jerusalem-where High Priest Caiphas and his colleagues decided to arrest Jesus (John 11:47-50).

According to Christian traditions, here Judas held his last meeting with the Pharisees to finalize his covenant to betray Christ. Known by various names as Jebel Mukaber/Hatayalet/ Armon HaNatziv, this hill is the site of the United Nations headquarters in Israel. Today, the area is also known as one of the most sensitive location for Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.
