| Israel | Jerusalem<ref>Most countries do not recognize Israeli sovereignty over the eastern portion of Jerusalem, so they maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv. The U.S. Congress overwhelmingly passed the Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act in 1995 requiring the United States to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but allowed the president to delay the move for "national security reasons". So far, the move has been under an indefinite delay, even though George W. Bush promised to make the move during his 2000 campaign.</ref>
