Recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In this centinial year of the Balfour Declaration let’s honour what Israel has achieved over the past 70 years and recognise the city of her choice as her capital. This is long overdue and recognises the reality of the situation, as the Knesset and judiciary are located in Jerusalem.
