Why Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem
The U.S. embassy to Israel has moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Here’s how this sacred city factors into a conflict 70 years old.

When President Trump’s administration announced the move in 2017, it also officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. And while Israeli leaders celebrated, Palestinians denounced the move.
That’s because both Israelis and Palestinians consider Jerusalem as their rightful capital. Jerusalem is home to important holy sites for all the Abrahamic religions, and so it has become a critical bargaining chip in the ongoing discussion between the two sides.

Moving the embassy is controversial, breaking with decades of official US policy — and it comes at a particularly tumultuous time for Israel and the region. Read more on Vox.com: http://bit.ly/2k3pFIE

As of 2025, the whole world knows who's to blame 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇬🇧
Most Gen Z in the US now supports the 🥷 group in Gaza (according to Harvard Harris Poll), the vast majority of Europeans are now pro-palestine, even many of the right wing (because they fear Palestinian immigrants will legitimately be here. Legitimately because they'll be forced to go to the EU by EU arms sold to israel).
Every week, one NATO country is recognising Palestine.
Epstein files are being exposed as Israeli operations that blackmails every US congressman, AIPAC is also being exposed.
Time will come when Israel becomes isolated and desperate

I thought religion was supposed to bring peace, these people do not seem peaceful at all either side.

never was a palestine, the koran has no mention of Jerusalem. you lie. The Israelis wanted to share, the Arabs want it all. Not true, no holy sites for islam, only the mosque that they built on the destroyed Israeli Temple. Mohammed had never been to Jerusalem. It is now questioned if he ever even existed.

Israel directly controls it in their hands. Who cares if anyone cries about it?

La onu quien es para decir que Jerusalén no es la capital del pueblo judío yo creo que eso no hay ni que cuestionarlo más claro no se puede, Israel siempre ha sido es y lo seguirá siendo la capital eterna del pueblo judío amén. Palestina es un término no un pueblo étnico. Muchísimos que les llaman palestinos está comprobado que son egipcios y otros jordanos árabes tambien que yegaron a anexionarse a la tierra de Israel, claro no digo que los árabes no puedan vivir en Israel siempre y cuando reconozcan a Israel como nación país y pueblo hebreo por que Israel no tiene problemas que vivan ahí pero con condiciones legales como se las pondría cualquier país del mundo. 🇮🇱👍

Ni Palestina ni los palestinos existen, Yerushalayim es, será lo que siempre a sido, la capital de toda la nación judia hasta el fin de los días
