Best Answer

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.
