This chapter examines the deliberations concerning the conservation of the historic building of the Terminal House in the port of Jaffa Israel, which served as the historic entry gate into Palestine in the beginning of the twentieth century. These deliberations took place during the 2010s following development plans promoted for the Terminal House between the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality and the Council for Conservation of Heritage Sites in Israel, a semi-private NGO, dedicated to advocating the preservation of historic sites in Israel. I claim that the examination of the debate between these two bodies exemplifies two different methods through which hegemonic groups contend with non-hegemonic forms of heritage which are perceived as a challenge or threat. However, although each body employed different strategies, they both shared a common pattern—one that used the professional and economic aspects of the process of conservation to prevent a transparent public discussion regarding the ideological and symbolic importance of conservation. In this respect, the examination of the deliberations concerning the conservation of the Terminal House may add to the growing literature regarding the attempts to overlook the political nature of conservation as a means allowing the physical and symbolic reconstruction of the shared space in the urban sphere in areas immersed in ethno-national conflict.
