No. Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel which is an indepedent sovereign state (country). Israel was a British protectorate from the end of WWI until 1948.

The Israelis recognize the importance of Jerusalem in the Christian and Islamic traditions and they maintain access to the Holy Land and the holy sites for all visitors. Given the tension between Israel and her Islamic neighbours, the Israelis have been very generous in their treatment of the Palestinians, but the Palestinians have been encouraged by other Muslim states to reject co-operation with the Israelis. It is sad because the Palestinians would do much better by accepting Israeli help. It is interesting that the only military campaigns against Israel were waged by the Egyptians who are not Arabs at all.
