Why did Jerusalem remain under international control after the 1947 UN partition of Palestine?

The 1947 UN partition plan proposed that Jerusalem be placed under international administration because it has great religious and cultural significance to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. This was intended to protect access to the city’s holy places and avoid placing it under the exclusive control of either proposed state. Thus, the correct choice is “It is of cultural importance to three of the world’s major religions.”
