Golan Heights is Israeli-occupied Syria.
West Bank and Gaza Strip are Israeli-occupied with current
status subject to the
Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement -- permanent status to be
determined through
further negotiation.
Israel proclaimed Jerusalem as its capital in 1950, but the US,
like nearly all other
countries, maintains its Embassy in Tel Aviv.
