Best Answer

Jerusalem is the holiest city to Judaism. It is the capital of Israel & has been the capital of ancient Jewish kingdoms. It has never been the capital of any other nation. There is a Jewish majority in Jerusalem, and there was a Jewish majority in east Jerusalem from 1880 until 1948 when Jordan took control and expelled all Jews, giving Jewish property to Arabs. During this time Jews were banned from visiting east Jerusalem and Jewish holy sites. Since Jerusalem was reunified in 1967 Israel has ensured the protection of all the religious holy sites of all religions and the rights of religious minorities.
