Since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988, 135 UN Member Nations have recognized the State of Palestine, comprising the Palestinian territories as a distinct state.

Both Palestine and Israel have proclaimed this ancient holy city as their true capital. The Palestinian National Authority maintains the stance that Jerusalem should be an open city with no partitions – but under Palestinian control. However, the Israeli government passed the “Jerusalem Law” in 1980, declaring the ancient city as their “eternal and indivisible” capital.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s longest-running and most controversial conflicts. At its heart, it is a conflict between two self-determination movements — the Jewish Zionist project and the Palestinian nationalist project — that lay claim to the same territory.

Both the Israeli new shekel and the Jordanian dinar are freely used in the Palestinian territories.
