Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and Palestine (both disputed), and it is also the political, economic, cultural and transportation center. It is the capital of Jerusalem and the largest city in Palestine. Jerusalem is a holy place for Christianity (including Catholicism), Judaism and Islam. Jerusalem, located in the Levant region of the Near East, is a city with a long history. Geographically, it is located in the mountainous area of Judah, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea, and is called the holy city of the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).
1980, Israeli legislation recognized Jerusalem as the "eternal and indivisible capital" of the country. Most countries have embassies in Tel Aviv. 1988 the Palestinian self-government declared Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state. At present, Jerusalem is actually controlled by Israel. Jerusalem, with an area of only 126 square kilometers, is the old city of Jerusalem surrounded by a circle of walls.
Historical evolution of Jerusalem;
Archaeological findings show that the development of Jerusalem can be traced back to 4000 BC. The earliest written records about this city can be found in the Egyptian curse prayer book of19th century and the amana clay version of14th century. According to the Bible, before the Israelites lived in Jerusalem, many nationalities (including Amorites and Hittites) lived together here.
When Israel entered Canaan, a Canaanite tribe, the Jebusites, lived near Jerusalem (called the Jebusites). The Jewish tribes of Israel conquered the city of Jerusalem, while the Benjamin tribe occupied the city and lived in peace with the Jebusites living in the city.
About 1000 years ago, King David led the Israelites to conquer the city, expanded it to the south, built its capital here, and renamed it Yelushalayim (Jerusalem). He moved the ark to Jerusalem and pitched a tent for it. He tried to build a temple, but Nathan, the prophet of God, stopped him.
