| − | '''Jerusalem''' (in [[Hebrew]]:'''יְרוּשָׁלַיִם''' and in [[Arabic]]:'''أورشليم القدس''') is the official capital of the country of [[Israel]], although it is not recognized as such diplomatically outside of Israel. It is considered holy by [[Jews]] as their ancient capital and home of their most holy site, the Temple Mount, as well as by [[Christians]] for its association with [[Christ]] and the [[Crucifixion]], and by [[Muslims]] as the location of the [[Dome of the Rock]]. Jerusalem was unified under Israeli control after the [[Six-Day War]] of 1967; it had, between Israeli independence in 1948 and 1967, been divided between Israeli West Jerusalem (some 55 km<sup>2</sup>) and East Jerusalem (some 70 km<sup>2</sup>). The [[Knesset]] (the Israeli Parliament Building) is located in West Jerusalem as well as the Museum of the [[Holocaust]]. | + | '''Jerusalem''' (in [[Hebrew]] '''יְרוּשָׁלַיִם''' and in [[Arabic]] '''أورشليم القدس''') is the official capital of the country of [[Israel]], although it is not recognized as such diplomatically outside of Israel.
