Original sentence: Israel rejects their claims and insists that Tel Aviv ceased to be capital in 1948.Jerusalem is fully accepted as Israel's capital by three countries, the United States of America, Costa Rica and El Salvador.Most base their consulates and embassies in Tel Aviv, without expressing an opinion on the status of either city.Most states avoid taking a stance on the issue and so de facto locate their embassies in Tel Aviv and call Tel Aviv the "diplomatic capital" or the "political capital" of Israel.Other countries assert that Israel's control of the entire city of Jerusalem is illegal under international law and therefore its granting of capital status is invalid.Some states regard Tel Aviv as the legitimate capital of Israel, due to disagreements over the status of Jerusalem in international law.These states leave the issue of the status of Jerusalem open until the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
