Here’s the latest I can share based on recent publicly available reporting up to now.
Overview: The title “King of Jerusalem” is commonly used in historical or fictional contexts (e.g., depictions of the medieval Kingdom of Jerusalem). If you’re asking about a contemporary figure holding a similar ceremonial or religious leadership role in Jerusalem today, there isn’t a recognized official position by that exact title in modern governance.
Recent real-world context: In today’s Middle East, the most prominent monarchs and leaders linked to Jerusalem’s status are the Hashemite Custodians of the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem (the Jordanian monarchy). Jordan’s King Abdullah II frequently speaks on Jerusalem, advocates for a two-state solution, and stresses protection of religious sites and the Palestinian rights. These actions are part of ongoing diplomacy around Jerusalem’s status and regional peace.[2][4]
If you can clarify what you mean by “King of Jerusalem” (historical figure, fictional work, or a contemporary ceremonial role), I can tailor the latest verified information and provide precise sources.
