Yom Yerushalayim, or Jerusalem Day, is an Israeli state holiday celebrating the conquest and annexation of East Jerusalem during the Six Day War of 1967. In Israel, the day is described as the Day of Reunification, and it is the day the city of Jerusalem fell under Israeli control and those of the Jewish faith.
The reunification was recognized solely in the State of Israel until December 6, 2017, when President Donald Trump declared his administration recognized Jerusalem as Israeli exclusively, only of and for the Jewish people.
Yom Yerushalayim occurs on the anniversary of the annexation according to the Hebrew calendar, and it is a secular holiday.
PLEASE NOTE: Under international law, East Jerusalem is and has been occupied since 1967. The city of Jerusalem, under the United Nation's agreement creating the state of Israel, is to remain an international city, not the exclusive land of an individual nation. Representatives of Isreal agreed to this requirement in 1947 as a condition of their statehood. The inhabitants of East Jerusalem are predominantly Christians and Muslims and were under the guardianship of the Kingdom of Jordan at the time of the war. Despite his beliefs, the president of the United States does not have the authority to rewrite international law, reallocate sovereignty, or change the status of East Jerusalem at a whim.
