Israeli President Shimon Peres (C) and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (L) attend a state ceremony marking Jerusalem Day, which celebrates the conquest of East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six Day War, in east Jerusalem, May 21, 2009. Israel occupied East Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast War and declared the whole city as its "eternal and undivided capital" in 1980 in a move not recognized by the international community, while the Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
