​Jerusalem, capital of Israel, divided during the 1948 War of Independence, was reunited in June 1967. On May 28, 2014 (28 Iyyar) Israel celebrates Jerusalem Day, marking the reunification of the nation's capital.

Since the time of King David, except for the 19 years between 1948 and 1967, there has always been a Jewish presence in the ancient city of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. From 1948 until 1967, the western part of the city was in Israeli hands, while the ancient, eastern part - apart from a small Israeli enclave on Mount Scopus - was under Jordanian control.
