List of positions on Jerusalem
Nations have expressed contrasting official views on the status of Jerusalem: in particular, whether West Jerusalem is the rightful capital city of Israel; and whether East Jerusalem should also be considered as part of that Israeli capital, or whether it should become the capital of a putative State of Palestine. Nations also differ in their choice of location for their own embassy: either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.
