Palestinian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Hani Al-Hayek, announced the inclusion of three Palestinian historical sites in the Arab Architectural and Urban Heritage Registry. This achievement is seen as a reflection of ongoing government efforts to protect and preserve Palestinian archaeological sites, enhance their regional and international presence, and highlight the challenges they face. The registration is considered a significant step in safeguarding these sites and bolstering their standing within Arab heritage. Al-Hayek stated that inscription in regional and international registries helps raise awareness of their importance, intensifies preservation efforts, and ensures their sustainability for future generations. The sites added are the Old City of Nablus, the Old City of Bethlehem, and the historic Qasr Arrabeh in the town of Arrabeh, Jenin Governorate. The decision was made during the 11th meeting of the Observatory of Architectural and Urban Heritage Officers in Arab Countries, organized by the Arab League's Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo. This recognition underscores the historical, architectural, and cultural value of these sites as evidence of the deep-rooted Palestinian presence and contribution to Arab civilization. The meeting, which lasted three days, also addressed the registration of other prominent Arab landmarks and discussed ways to strengthen joint Arab cooperation in preserving tangible cultural heritage and developing mechanisms for maintaining historical and architectural sites.
