Best Answer

Jerusalem was divided by the Armistices of 1949 between Israeli and Jordanian occupation. The majority of the city, including all of the Old City, (East Jerusalem) was controlled by Jordan and annexed to the Kingdom as part of the West Bank. The Israelis controlled the West of the City and established it as their capital.

Internationally, the Israeli control of Jerusalem was recognized as legitimate even though the movement of the capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was not recognized internationally. The Jordanian occupation of East Jerusalem was recognized by less than five nations.

In what year Jerusalem was made the capital of Israel?

Concerning Ancient IsraelWe do not know the exact year that King David conquered the city from the Jebusites, but it would have been around 1000 B.C.E.Concerning Modern IsraelIn 1949, after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-1949, West Jerusalem was firmly in Israeli control. It was at this point that Israel declared Jerusalem to be its capital. Since it only controlled the West, it was de facto understood not to include East Jerusalem under Jordanian control.In 1967, when Israel acquired the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Israeli capital began to become both West and East Jerusalem, although most government offices remain in West Jerusalem. In 1980, Israel officially annexed East Jerusalem to the Municipality of Jerusalem which created one unified capital de jure in Israel. The International Community condemned this act.
