Acknowledge Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
the UK government already makes no apology for the balfour declaration in having played its part in the establishment of Israel in 1948. Every nation on earth is able to determine its own capital, UK having done so. Eg: UK capital from Winchester to London. The UK should support Israels decision.
