This city is not only religiously important but also diplomatically and politically important. Most Israelis consider Jerusalem to be their capital. The nation of Israel was established in 1948 and the Israeli Parliament was established in the western part of the city. In 1966 Israel war, Israeli army was also captured East Jerusalem. The ancient city also came under the control of Israel. But it was not recognized internationally. Israel has never gained absolute sovereignty over Jerusalem, and Israeli leaders continue to protest against it. Apparently Palestine has a different perspective towards it. They considers East Jerusalem as his original capital. In Israel and Palestine dispute, this is the international formula to establish peace. One-third of Jerusalem’s population is of Palestinian origin, many of whose families have lived here for centuries. The expansion of the Jewish colonies in the eastern parts of the city is also a major cause of controversy. These construction is illegal under the International Law, but Israel has been denying it.
