In August 1980, the Israeli prime minister, Menachem Begin, declared Jerusalem to be the eternal and indivisible capital of Israel, and moved his office from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. During the two years that followed, his entire cabinet was relocated to Jerusalem as office space became available. The political restoration of the city was then complete.
Mnamo Agosti 1980, Waziri mkuu wa Israeli Menachim Begin alitangaza wazi kwamba Yerusalemu ndio mji mkuu usioweza kugawanywa wa taifa la Israeli, na hapo akahamisha makao yake makuu kutoka Tel-Aviv hadi hapa Yerusalemu. Miaka miwili baadaye, baraza lake lote la mawaziri lilihamia Yerusalemu. Hapa basi Yerusalemu ukawa mji mpya ambao ni makao makuu ya kisiasa ya taiafa hili la Israeli.
