Immediately after the [[Six-Day War]] of June 1967, Israel effectively annexed [[East Jerusalem]], an area comprising the much smaller prior Jordanian municipality of east Jerusalem and a surrounding area of the West Bank, as far as [[Kalandia]] to the north and [[Har Homa]] to the south. Israeli law, jurisdiction and administration were applied to this area, which was also made part of the Israeli [[Jerusalem]] municipality in its entirety. East Jerusalem residents became Israeli residents with blue Israeli ID cards. In 1980, the [[Knesset]] elevated the issue of the unity of Jerusalem to constitutional status by enacting [[Jerusalem Law|Basic Law: Jerusalem the Capital of Israel]], an act which was condemned by much of the world community, the few, mainly Latin American, embassies maintained in west Jerusalem promptly moving to [[Tel Aviv]]. Israel's annexation of [[East Jerusalem]] lacks international recognition by any country. Seven UNSC resolutions, including [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 478]] declared it "null and void" and required that it be rescinded, stating that it was a violation of international law (the [[Fourth Geneva Convention]]). The United Nations never explicitly recognized Jerusalem as part of either Israel or Palestine, as [[United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine|Resolution 181 (1947)]] was never revoked. In Resolution 181, Jerusalem was intended to become a ''[[Corpus separatum (Jerusalem)|corpus separatum]]'' under international regime. Most countries do not recognize either West Jerusalem or Jerusalem as Israel's capital.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jcpa.org/the-status-of-jerusalem-in-international-and-israeli-law/|title=The Status of Jerusalem in International and Israeli Law |year=2018|website=Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs|access-date=20 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/07/2012730225848752676.html |title=Palestinians accuse Romney of 'racist' remark |publisher=Al Jazeera|date=31 July 2012 |access-date=26 December 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |agency=Associated Press |url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/romney-calling-jerusalem-israel-s-capital-is-unacceptable-says-erekat-1.454662 |title=Romney calling Jerusalem Israel's capital is 'unacceptable,' says Erekat |work=Haaretz |date=30 July 2012 |access-date=26 December 2012}}</ref>

Palestinians regard East Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state. East Jerusalem is generally recognized as part of the Palestinian Territories. In [[list of United Nations resolutions concerning Israel|UN resolutions concerning Israel]], East Jerusalem is routinely referred to as a part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.<ref name='Res 58/292' />

According to the [[Supreme Court of Israel|Israeli Supreme Court]], the [[Fourth Geneva Convention]], which prohibits unilateral annexation of occupied territory, does not{{dubious|date=May 2013}} apply to East Jerusalem, as there was no{{dubious|date=May 2013}} "legitimate sovereign"{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}} recognised by Israel and its allies previously exercising control over the territory. In Israel, there has always been large support for retaining all of Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, although opinions differ regarding the large number of outlying Palestinian villages and neighbourhoods annexed to Jerusalem beyond "core" East Jerusalem (the [[Old City (Jerusalem)|Old City]], [[Sheikh Jarrah]] and the large post-1967 Jewish neighborhoods such as [[Ramot]], [[Ramat Eshkol]], [[French Hill (neighborhood)|French Hill]] and [[Gilo]]).{{citation needed|date=May 2025}}

A few times, there were Israeli or U.S. proposals to divide East Jerusalem between Israel and the Palestinians. In the 1995 [[Beilin–Abu Mazen agreement]], Israeli negotiators proposed Palestinian sovereignty over some Arab neighborhoods within an expanded Jerusalem that would include annexed Israeli neighborhoods and major [[Israeli settlement|settlement blocs]]. In 2000, U.S. president Bill Clinton offered a similar proposal in his [[The Clinton Parameters|Clinton Parameters]]. In more recent years, the Israeli position has strongly been favourable to keeping all of Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty.{{citation needed|date=May 2025}}
