Palestine is not an established country so there is no official capital, but Palestinians claim that Jerusalem is their capital.

Located just west of Jordan on the Mediterranean Sea. RELIGION: 75 % Muslim 17 % Jewish 8 % Christian LANGUAGE: 99.9 % Arabic <0.01 % Armenian <0.01 % Domari ETHNIC GROUPS: 94 % Arab Muslim 4 % Arab Christain 2 % Arab Jewish

Just like the Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall a wall is being built to seperate Palestine and Isreal. The wall is 8 meters tall and runs for 703 km around Palestine. The construction of the wall is highly controversial. The wall is being built to help prevent terrorism from Palestine from coming into Isreal.. Since 2002 when the wall construction started the number of suicide bombs has been greatly reduced. People of Palestine are angry at the building of the wall because it effects their travel and a good percentage of Palestine's employed citizens are empoyed in Isreal.
