Answer:

The United Nations placed the city under its supervision.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1947, the United Nations determined that the British Mandate of Palestine would be divided into two states, Israel and Palestine, and that the city of Jerusalem, which both religions claimed for themselves along with Christianity, would be under direct control of the UN given its historical, cultural and religious importance for humanity, as well as due to the difficulties that would be generated in case of granting its sovereignty to one or another state.
