Jerusalem is a disputed city between Palestine and Israel. Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, which Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war, as the capital of their future state.

Most of the international community does not recognize Israel’s annexation of east Jerusalem and say any claim to the city must be resolved through negotiations.

Most of the international embassies are in the city of Tel Aviv.
