CBS News senior director Mark Memmott directed journalists not to refer to Jerusalem as being in Israel, acknowledging its disputed status in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The status of Jerusalem, claimed by both Israelis and Palestinians, remains central to peace negotiations, as Israel considers it its capital, while Palestinians seek East Jerusalem.
Despite the U.S. recognition and relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem, most countries have not followed suit due to the unresolved status of the city.
Historically, offers to give East Jerusalem to Palestine for a capital were rejected, highlighting the complexity and longstanding nature of the territorial dispute.
