[Israel currently considers Jerusalem to be its “undivided” capital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_Law), but the PLO and [UN view at least the eastern half of the city to Israeli-occupied territory over which the Palestinians ought to have sovereignty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_58/292). I know that most Israeli government departments are headquartered in Jerusalem, but are these headquarters all in West Jerusalem, or are there any in East Jerusalem?
