Best Answer

If you are referring to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Crusader State, it was established in 1099 as a result of the First Crusade. It was conquered in 1187 by Saladin and the Islamic Forces.

If you are referring to the Modern State of Israel (for which Jerusalem is the capital) it was established in 1948 in order to be a Jewish State.

Who set up a capital in Jerusalem?

Jerusalem was originally used as fortress-capital of the Jebusites. According to the Bible, David established it as the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel. It remained the capital of Judah during both periods of Jewish home rule. In 1949, the Modern State of Israel built up Western Jerusalem as its capital. Following the Unification of Jerusalem in the Six Day War, Israel considers the whole of Jerusalem to be its capital.


Did the UN give Jerusalem to Israel?

No. Jerusalem has been the capital of modern-day Israel since ancient times (or, when it was called Judea).No. In the 1947 Partition Plan, Jerusalem was to be a corpus separatum, which meant that it would be controlled neither by the Arab State or the Jewish State, but by a separate United Nations government. The 1947 Partition Plan also stated that after ten years, the people in Jerusalem would have the choice to vote on whether they would join with Jewish State or the Arab State. Given that Jerusalem was encircled entirely within the Arab State, it is likely that Jerusalem would have become part of the Arab State.However, when the Partition Plan failed on account of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Jerusalem was divided by Israeli and Arab forces between West and East Jerusalem. Furthermore, the United Nations abides by International Law which holds that the Jerusalem Law, which established the unified city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, is void given that East Jerusalem is part of the West Bank territories. The United Nations recognizes Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel.
