Re: What is the capital of Israel?
West Jerusalem. East Jerusalem is part of the Palestinian territory currently occupied by Israel. Calling Jerusalem the capital of Israel is about as appropriate as calling Iraq a US state.
Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, West Jerusalem was among the areas captured and later annexed by Israel, while East Jerusalem, including the Old City, was captured by Jordan. Israel captured East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed it. Currently, Israel's Basic Law refers to Jerusalem as the country's "undivided capital". The international community has rejected the annexation as illegal and treats East Jerusalem as Palestinian territory held by Israel under military occupation. The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and the city hosts no foreign embassies.

Israel may concede to a variation of pre-1967 borders as part of a peace process, but they will never give up East Jerusalem to a future Palestinian state.
