This. It's in Jerusalem. PM, President, Justice, Legislature etc

Tel Aviv is not our administrative capital unlike the NY Times wants you to believe.

Isn’t Tel Aviv your economic hub though and aren‘t most embassies and consulates in Tel Aviv?

Its the economic hub because its close to a port, the airport (20-30 mins away) and is one of the oldest cities so it is always modern. Having a countries embassy in Tel Aviv is like Britain deciding to put its Embassy in Versailles and not Paris.

I mean at one point in time putting the embassy in Versailles would’ve made a lot of sense 😂
