This is a very contentious issue. West Jerusalem is unquestionably in Israel, but for the entire city, there is more debate.
Legal Status (De Jure)
In 1949, the armistice lines between Israel and Jordan divided the city of Jerusalem into West Jerusalem (which was held by Israelis) and East Jerusalem, including the Old City (which was held by the Jordanians. In 1967, via the Six-Day War, Israel reunited the city of Israel under its control. However, according to UNSC Resolution 242, Israel must withdraw from territories occupied in the Six-Day War in return for a peace treaty with its neighbors. In 1994, Jordan, which was the country that had a legal right to Jerusalem, ceded that right to the Palestinian Authority and signed a peace treaty with Israel. As a result, Jerusalem contains both de jure Israeli territory (West Jerusalem) and the de jure non-Israeli territory (East Jerusalem) which is owed, theoretically, to the Palestinian State.
Current Status (De Facto)
Since 1967, Israel has controlled both West and East Jerusalem and in 1980 passed the "Jerusalem Law", which set up a unified municipal boundary for Jerusalem and annexed (illegally according to international law) East Jerusalem to Israel proper.
It's the other way around, Jerusalem is the capital and second-largest metropolitan area of Israel.
Note: The Armistice that ended the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 left Jerusalem a divided city, so there is also a strong Palestinian claim to all or the Eastern Part of the City.
