What does the 2001 map reveal about possible conflict over political status of Jerusalem?

The 2001 map reveals that the political status of Jerusalem is a highly contested issue, with both Israel and the Palestinians claiming the city as their capital. The map shows East Jerusalem, which includes the Old City and many holy sites, under Israeli control since 1967, but this annexation is not recognized by many countries. The Palestinian Authority currently has limited control over West Jerusalem, though they would like it to be the capital of their future state. The international community is divided on the issue, with some countries recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, while others support the Palestinian position.

Thus, if not resolved it is a potential flashpoint for renewed conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as the Muslim and Jewish communities within the city.
