Isn’t the capital Tel Aviv?

Aren’t foreign countries allowed to designate their own capitals?

What’s the outrage about, here? You want to pick one for them?

In 1980 the Israeli Knesset passed a Law designating Jerusalem as the captital of Israel. The UN Security Council passed a resolution 14-0-1 declaring the move null & void. (the US abstained)

It’s been a political football ever since. Even Republican administrations squirm when the subject comes up.
