Best Answer

Israel does not have two capitals. Jerusalem is the only capital of Israel, pursuant to Israel's Jerusalem Law which united the Israeli West Jerusalem with the Occupied East Jerusalem to create one united capital city.

However, because of the Jerusalem Law being ruled illegal by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 and the fact that Jerusalem was not envisaged as being Israeli in 1947, no country outside of Israel puts its embassies in Jerusalem and instead recognize Tel Aviv as the capital of Israel (even though all government functions happen in Jerusalem).
