Like most countries, Israel used a legislative declaration to choose its capital. West Jerusalem was established as the national capital in 1950, which was the earliest practicable point, given that Jerusalem was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. In 1980, the Jerusalem Law made the entire unified city of Jerusalem the Israeli capital and set out the municipal boundaries of the united city.
