The violet, boxed handstampindicates that the cover was delayed in one of the Arab states (Reference1, p. 111).

There is an indistinct Israeli cancel on the back.As a result of the Six Day War (June 5 to June 10, 1967), Israel tookcontrol of the West Bank and officially annexed East Jerusalem (the222German Postal Specialist
”Old City”) on July 27, 1967. Mail sent to the Old City in Jerusalem wasrouted through Amman, Jordan and could not now be delivered becauseof the Israeli occupation. On September 19, 1967 the Jewish TelegraphAgency reported the following:“Israel post office workers were engaged today in sortingout the contents of 500 sacks of mail addressed to residents ofEast Jerusalem and the West Bank, which the Jordanian postalauthorities had turned over to the International Red Cross. Themail had been posted from all parts of the world prior to the Junefighting and the addresses to which it had been directed werethen part of Jordan.In view of the flight of so many residents of the West Bankduring the June fighting, it is doubtful whether much of thismail will ever reach the addressees. In any case, the Israeli postalworkers are sorting the mail so that delivery can be made to allrecipients who can be located.” (Reference 1, p. 255)Image 5, front and backImage 5 shows an example of Jordanian mail delivered to Israel viathe International Red Cross. The cover was mailed on June 14, 1967from Hamburg to the Old City in Jerusalem. It arrived at Amman,Jordan on June 20, 1967 and was held until September 1967, when itwas turned over to the International Red Cross for delivery to Israel.It was cancelled in Jerusalem on September 29, 1967 and delivered toMr. Khatchudourian at P.O. Box 4003, Old City. A Google searchfound that Mr. Khatchudourian, an Armenian guide who gives toursof the Old City, still uses this address.
