Israel is recognised by almost every country beside the Arabs. But how is it possilbe to recognise a country but not it's capital?
wiki: The status of united Jerusalem as Israel's capital is not universal recognised by international community, and Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem is still particulary controversial.
All foreingn embassies moved to Tel Aviv (beside Salvador).
When countries recognise a state, why not it's capital? Isn't this biased?

Definetly biased. Tel Aviv is doing a good job as the capital. Jerusalem is a very sticky situation and is an arab city for the most part. Blessed are the peace makers.

Because the capital is in occupied territory. If Israel would move there capital outside of occupied Palestine that would do alot to ease tensions in the Middle East.

They may recognize a state as a valid state, but disagree on what it's boundaries are. If the capital is on disputed territory, people may not agree on what side of the dispute to take, if any.
And please only post a question once.
