Again I feel obligated to remind people that things like countries or capital cities do not come into being solely upon declarations and recognitions This is only one aspect and not necessarily the most important The fact that countries tell Israel we don t like the fact that you maintain your capital in Jerusalem or move your capital to Tel Aviv does not make Jerusalem less of an Israeli capital from the factual point of view it is still where you would find the Israeli center of government Furthermore it is incorrect to say that most countries recognized Jerusalem as a Palestinian occupied territory The UK for example like many other countries maintains that Jerusalem can not be said to belong to any country for the time being The EU recently published a vision in which Jerusalem is the capital of both Israel and a future Palestinian state The PA itself recently published a plan the Fayyad Plan in which it explicitly stated that East Jerusalem and not all of the city should become the Palestinian capital
