The Dead Sea Scrolls

Jordan has asked Canada to seize Israel’s 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls that are currently on display in Toronto.
Jordan claims that the scrolls were found in “disputed territory” that Israel captured from Jordanian control in 1967, and asks Canada to hold them until the question of their ownership is settled. Jordan’s control of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley -which it called the “West Bank” – from 1948 until 1967, was recognized internationally by only two countries: Great Britain and Pakistan.
