"Jerusalem -- New Home of the United Nations?" "Making Jerusalem the headquarters of the U.N. has been proposed in the past. The Maariv daily reported in July 2003 that Israeli leader Shimon Peres, a former Israeli prime minister, proposed that Jerusalem be declared “the capital of the world” as a way of addressing competing Israeli and Arab claims to the city. At that time, Peres suggested that the U.N. secretary general be declared the mayor of the city with the responsibility of appointing Jewish and Arab mayors to oversee the city’s neighborhoods. "
