East Jeruselem by international law is Palestinian land that the Palestinians hope to make their capital when (if?) the two-state solution is put into effect.
But Israel’s occupying army has slowly torn down Palestinian homes and built up illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian land in an attempt to claim ownership of the whole of Jeruselem for Isreal, making a two-state solution nearly impossible.
If anyone’s been paying attention, Jeruselem is considered a holy city to three major religions (Christian, Jewish, and Muslim), but Israel has its sights set on claiming the entire city for itself.
