Detailed explanation-1: -It was 70 years ago that the United States, under President Truman, recognized the State of Israel. Ever since then, Israel has made its capital in the city of Jerusalem-the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times. Today, Jerusalem is the seat of the modern Israeli government.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1950, Jerusalem became the capital of Israel. Now, other countries are slowly starting to recognize it as such. On 23 January 1950, the Knesset voted that Jerusalem should be the capital of Israel.
Detailed explanation-3: -Historically, Jerusalem became the capital of Israel by decree of King David 3, 000 years ago, based on his understanding of God’s own choice. It has remained Israel’s capital ever since, and though other nations conquered and settled in the Land of Israel, none ever declared Jerusalem as their capital.
