Does Israel have the right to have Jerusalem?
Jerusalem is the holiest city to Judaism. It is the capital of Israel & has been the capital of ancient Jewish kingdoms. It has never been the capital of any other nation. There is a Jewish majority in Jerusalem, and there was a Jewish majority in east Jerusalem from 1880 until 1948 when Jordan took control and expelled all Jews, giving Jewish property to Arabs. During this time Jews were banned from visiting east Jerusalem and Jewish holy sites. Since Jerusalem was reunified in 1967 Israel has ensured the protection of all the religious holy sites of all religions and the rights of religious minorities.

Why should Jerusalem be partitioned?
What is now the modern state of Israel occupies over seventy per cent of what had previously been regarded as Palestine, and includes almost all the rich coastal areas. Both the Israelis and Palestinians have strong religious, emotional and territorial ties to the city of Jerusalem. One of the most important reasons for partitioning Jerusalem on the basis of the United Nations Green Line, is that without this there can never be a lasting peace in Israel and Palestine. The only other option that could conceivably achieve long-term peace in the Middle East is a unitary state for Jews and Palestinians on an equal basis. So, unless Israel wishes to endure centuries of hatred and fighting, it eventually has no option other than to concede East Jerusalem to the proposed state of Palestine.

Is Jerusalem in Israel?
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.
