What is the capital of Israel?

Israel has been running most government operations out of Jerusalem, however all embassies focus themselves around Tel Aviv. The reason why isn't simple at all. Before Israel gained independence from Britain, the British had also promised control of the territory to Palestine. The end result was a hilarious patchwork type of map that crammed in both countries, and it was a bad idea. In war, Jordan annexed the region known as the West Bank. By 1949 the city of Jerusalem was partitioned into East and West. West in Israel, East in Jordan. Another war ensued, and Israel took control of the city. Jordan no longer controlled the West Bank, or any of Jerusalem, and the international community recognized the territory as it was originally intended, Palestine, since 90% of the people living there are Palestinians. But Israel disagrees. To this day, the world recognizes the West Bank as Palestinian, but Israel does not.

So here's the deal...both Israel and Palestine thinks Jerusalem should be their capital. But neither side can come to any agreements. If the US moves their embassy to Jerusalem, it's seen as disregarding the Palestinians' wishes and as an end to the peace negations. For this reason, everyone's concerned that such an action would inflame tensions and incite violence, which is looks like it has done. The declaration and move are entirely symbolic, but the consequences for those affected won't be.
