    		Another hint: The city was annexed by one country in 1950 and by another in 1980. None of the annexations were recognized by the international community.

    		East Jerusalem.

    "In 1950 East Jerusalem, along with the rest of the West Bank, was annexed by Jordan."

    "In the 1980 'Jerusalem Law' Israel formally declared Jerusalem "whole and united", to be "the eternal capital of Israel". However, as the boundaries were intentionally not specified in the law, whether annexation has ever taken place is still debated."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Jerusalem

    "Illegally annexed by Israel in 1980, East Jerusalem has long been viewed by the Palestine Liberation Organisation as the future capital of a Palestinian state."
