This article is about the Israeli administrative district. For the district in Mandatory Palestine, see Jerusalem Subdistrict, Mandatory Palestine. For the administrative district of the Palestinian Authority, see Quds Governorate.
The Jerusalem District (Hebrew: מחוז ירושלים; Arabic: منطقة القدس) is one of the six administrative districts of Israel. The district capital is Jerusalem. The Jerusalem District has a land area of 652 km2. The population of 1,159,900 is 66.3% Jewish and 32.1% Arab.[4] A fifth (21%) of the Arabs in Israel live in the Jerusalem Municipality, which includes both East and West Jerusalem.[5] Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem has not been recognized by the international community.[6]
The majority of Arabs in the Jerusalem District are Palestinians, eligible to apply for citizenship under Israeli law, but either declining to apply or unsuccessful.[citation needed] The minority are Arab citizens of Israel living in Abu Ghosh, Beit Safafa and East Jerusalem, where Arab professionals have settled since the late 1970s, mainly for the provision of legal and other services to the local population.[citation needed] The non-Jewish population is 95.2% Muslim, 3.5% Christian with the others unclassified by religion.[7]
