residence, government offices, supreme court, and parliament. United Nations
Security Council Resolution 478 declared the Jerusalem Law
"null and void" and called on member states to withdraw their
diplomatic missions from Jerusalem. The United Nations and all member states
maintain their embassies in other cities such as Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan,
and Herzliya,
and do not recognise Jerusalem as the capital.[3] Many

status, as called for in the Partition Plan of
1947.[4] ThePalestinian National Authority claims
East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

over the territories it claims. Administration is based in Ramallah and Gaza, rather than
Jerusalem. All members of the United Nations regard East Jerusalem as
occupied territory, and theOrganisation of Islamic Cooperation,
the Arab League, the Non-Aligned Movement and the European Union recognise
it as the capital of a future Palestinian state.[5]
