East Jerusalem

East Jerusalem is a part of the city of Jerusalem, which is significant for various religious communities, particularly Jews, Muslims, and Christians. It was captured by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed, a move not widely recognized internationally. East Jerusalem includes important religious sites, such as the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall. The status of East Jerusalem remains a contentious issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Palestinians claiming it as the capital of a future state, while Israel considers it part of its indivisible capital. This ongoing dispute impacts peace efforts in the region.
