Sister cities of East Jerusalem

East Jerusalem or Eastern Jerusalem refers to the parts of Jerusalem captured and annexed by Jordan after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and then captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, and later annexed by them. It includes Jerusalem's Old City and some of the holiest sites of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, such as the Temple Mount, Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The term sometimes refers to the area which was incorporated into the municipality of Jerusalem after 1967, covering some 70 km² (27 sq mi). Sometimes it refers to the smaller area of the pre-1967 Jordanian controlled part of the Jerusalem municipality, covering 6.4 km² (2.5 sq mi).

In the Palestine Liberation Organization's Palestinian Declaration of Independence of 1988, Jerusalem is stated to be the capital of the State of Palestine. In 2000 the Palestinian Authority passed a law designating East Jerusalem as such, and in 2002 this law was ratified by Chairman Arafat, although Israel does not allow Palestinian government offices in East Jerusalem.

Israel declared in 1980 all of Jerusalem, both East and West sections, as its undivided capital, but this is not generally accepted by the international community.
