What the petition asks
Following the 1967 war, Israel declared that Israeli law would be applied to East Jerusalem and enlarged its eastern boundaries, approximately doubling its size. The action was deemed unlawful by other states who did not recognize it.
It was condemned by the UN Security Council and General Assembly who described it as an annexation in violation of the rights of the Palestinian population. In 1980.Israel passed a law declaring that "Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel".The law was declared null and void by the Security council in Resolution 478 and in numerous resolutions by the UN General assembly
