Regardless of holy to whatever.
It's the original capital of Palestine and the UN with the major powers controlling agreed on giving Israel half of it which is the west. It's not recognized by the UN yet to be the official capital of Israel and including east Jerusalem. Any country even the USA will recognize it, that means it violates the UN laws and rules.

This is a fact away from any wishes, emotions and religions.

this would be a violation of a UN agreement.
the eastern part goes to the palestinians , and the western part to the israelis.
the city is too old to be the capital. to the contributor who said jurasalem isnt mentioned in the koran, the mosque there is of vital importance to moslems who used to face it in prayers , then they faced the kaaba because prophet mohamed felt more at ease with that. perhaps he was inspired that the israeli would take jerusalem by force , and that would have been painful to all moslems over the world .it is a city seized by by force in the twentieth century . was that seizure lawful?

There are many who would love to see this happening, but if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it.

The Palestinians wants a Palestine State with Jerusalem as the capital.

The land that Palestine is on belongs to Israel not Palestine. This land was given to His people and His Nation of Israel by God Himself, in a conversation with Abraham, for generation to generations.

God has promised in His word for those that come against Israel will be wiped off the face of the earth. And also states that the Philistines will be no more.

Israel and Jerusalem is Holy to God.

Well according to the CIA world factbook the capital of Israel is Jerusalem.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/is.html

I would actually challenge you to find one nation that has diplomatic relations with Israel that says its capital is not Jerusalem.

Where they place their embassies has to do with another issue and has nothing to do with the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

A capital is not defined by where other nations put their embassies, but where that nation places its seat of government.

( I never said east Jerusalem genius, I said Jerusalem in general but if you want me to specify then West Jerusalem)
All nations that have diplomatic relations with Israel already recognize it as the capital.

Because of the instability of that region for many years.
Also because Jerusalem belongs to Islam and they know it..
Salah Al Deen r.a. leader of Islam at that time gave it back to us, and the Dome Of The Rock is not a church or sinagog, its a MASJED!
but you have your side and we have ours we love to share just like Salah Deen
Crusaders "Surely we killed everyone last time every one of you muslims and your familes why do you let us go"
What does Jerusalem mean to you...
SALAH DEEN REPLY "NOTHING"
and left


turn around and looked at the crusader leader and said EVERYTHING! and you may live in peace here as we are to live in peace here with you.

NOW YOU SEE, LOOK BACK TO THAT WAR!
that is why

Please tell me: if Jerusalem is indeed holy to Islam, then why is the city not mentioned ONCE in the Koran?

And why do Muslims face Mecca, not Jerusalem, when they pray?

In contrast, Jerusalem is mentioned countless times in the Jewish bible, and Jews have said 'Next year in Jerusalem' always, at special occasions.

Do you actually know what the Muslim world did when it controlled parts of Jerusalem? It turned the holy Christian and Jewish sites into horse stables.

At least now that Jerusalem is the Israeli capital, people of all faiths are free and welcome to visit their holy sites.

Have you ever been there? I have, which is how I know.

As for your assertion that the 'occupation is illegal', get your facts straight. The only bits of land, parts of Jerusalem included, that Israel has, she got DURING WARS THAT THE ARAB WORLD STARTED. This is verifiable, objective fact.

Now do tell me: what country on this earth will return land to enemies who attack it over and over???

Name one.

The only nation that has ever returned land to enemies is Israel. And still it's apparently not enough.

I suggest you go to Israel. Spend time in Jerusalem. Then spend time in any Muslim country.

When you return, I guarantee you will see things differently, and more accurately.
