Israel has de facto control over all of Jerusalem However, there are many differing legal and diplomatic positions on Jerusalem.
Others claim part or all of Jerusalem as Al Quds, the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Many United Nations General Assembly members including most Arab states, support the Palestinian claim.
De jure, the majority of UN member states and most international organisations do not accept Jerusalem as Israel's capital, nor Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem. Embassies are generally located in Tel Aviv, which served as the temporary capital of Israel during the Arab blockade of Jerusalem in 1948.
Within Israeli jurisprudence, Jerusalem is the de jure capital of the State of Israel.
