Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem

[4] Jerusalem was envisaged as a separate, international city under the 1947 United Nations partition plan, but it was divided by the 1948 war that followed Israel's declaration of independence.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War; since then, the entire city has been under Israeli control.

The Arab invading armies failed to take control over the rest of Israel, including West Jerusalem.

[10] During the late afternoon of June 5, the Israelis launched an offensive to encircle Jerusalem, which lasted into the following day.

Dayan had ordered his troops not to enter the Old City; however, upon hearing that the UN was about to declare a ceasefire, he changed his mind, and without cabinet clearance, decided to capture it.

"[16] On 30 July 1980, the Knesset officially approved the Jerusalem Law, which called the city the complete and united capital.

[20] Under the direction of Nahman Avigad, the city's Jewish Quarter, which had largely lain in rubble, was carefully excavated before being rebuilt.

[30] Resolution 478 also "condemned in "the strongest terms" the enactment of Israeli law proclaiming a change in status of Jerusalem."

while Resolution 2334 of 2016 condemned all Israeli settlements in occupied territory including East Jerusalem.
