It was already a holy city to the ancient Jews, who supposed it to have been built by two forefathers of Abraham. When King David finally conquered it in around 1.000 BC, he made it his capital city.

Is Jerusalem a nation?

Yes. You have that completely accurate.Jerusalem is located in Israel, which is in the Middle East. The State of Palestine claims East Jerusalem, which includes a number of modern Arab neighborhoods and the Old City.There is much discussion concerning Jerusalem's proper legal nature and ownership:Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel annexed East Jerusalem and considers it a part of Israel, although the international community has rejected the annexation as illegal and considers East Jerusalem occupied territory. The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and most foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv and its suburbs. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a future Palestinian state. Israel, however, considers the entire city to be a part of Israel following its annexation of East Jerusalem through the Jerusalem Law of 1980.
