How can Jerusalem be the capital of Israel, and how can the U.S. recognize it as such, if both countries are signatories to the Israel/Palestinian agreements in the 1990s in which it was agreed that the legal status of Jerusalem was subject to future negotiations between the two sides?
Because The agreement was about East Jerusalem, whereas the new city of West Jerusalem is in land that Israel held in 1948

I believe your statement is factually incorrect, but I’d be interested to see if you have any evidence to support it. As far as I know, the official U.S. diplomatic position on Jerusalem is that its formal status hasn’t changed since the 1947 U.N. plan for the partition of Palestine, subject to ongoing and future negotiations among the parties.
