List of consulates-general in Jerusalem

Having consulates-general in Jerusalem not accredited to any foreign government is a result of the unresolved issue of the status of Jerusalem. Under the United Nations Partition Plan of 1947, Jerusalem was to become a corpus separatum under international control, separate from both the Jewish state and the Arab one whose creation the partition plan envisaged; that would have logically entailed various countries having a separate diplomatic representation in Jerusalem. While the corpus separatum idea was never implemented, the status of Jerusalem remains disputed and unresolved. The international community never recognized the declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 1949 or the annexation of East Jerusalem to Israel in 1967. Thus, the anomalous Jerusalem consulates serve as a convenient way for various countries to have a diplomatic presence in the city without recognizing such Israeli "accomplished facts".

The United States maintained a consulate general in Jerusalem between 1844 and 2019, which was also responsible for conducting relations with Palestinians. After the United States relocated its Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2018, the consulate general was formally merged into the US Embassy in early 2019, ending the US practice of accrediting separate missions to the Israelis and Palestinians. Most of its former responsibilities were assumed by a new Palestinian Affairs Unit which now works inside the embassy in Jerusalem.{{cite web |last1=Palladino |first1=Robert |title=Merger of U.S. Embassy Jerusalem and U.S. Consulate General Jerusalem |date=4 March 2019 |url=https://il.usembassy.gov/merger-of-u-s-embassy-jerusalem-and-u-s-consulate-general-jerusalem/ |publisher=U.S. Embassy in Israel |accessdate=4 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306042833/https://il.usembassy.gov/merger-of-u-s-embassy-jerusalem-and-u-s-consulate-general-jerusalem/|archive-date=6 March 2019}}{{cite news |last1=Estrin |first1=Daniel |title=As U.S. Jerusalem Consulate Shuts, Pro-Israel Envoy Takes On Palestinian Relations |url=https://www.npr.org/2019/03/01/698668688/as-u-s-jerusalem-consulate-shuts-pro-israel-envoy-to-handle-palestinian-relation |accessdate=4 March 2019 |publisher=National Public Radio |date=1 March 2019}}

All countries with consulates-general in Jerusalem include the contacts with the Palestinian National Authority in the consulate-general's responsibilities. All countries with consulates-general in Jerusalem have separate embassies in Tel Aviv that are accredited to Israel.
