National Role: As Israel's capital and largest city, Jerusalem is the seat of government and home to the Knesset, Supreme Court, and major national institutions. It's the spiritual center for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, making it of profound global significance.

Historical Development: Continuously inhabited for over 5,000 years, Jerusalem has been conquered and rebuilt dozens of times. King David made it his capital 3,000 years ago, and since 1967 the reunited city has grown into a modern metropolis of nearly one million people.
