The national President's residence, government offices, supreme court and parliament are located in Jerusalem, which is Israel's capital according to Israel's Basic Law. This states that "Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel." However, the Palestinian Authority sees East Jerusalem as the future capital of Palestine. Also, the United Nations and most countries do not accept the Basic Law, arguing that Jerusalem's final status must await future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Most countries maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv (see CIA Factbook and Map of Israel) See Positions on Jerusalem for more information.
