Al Jazeera Thinks Israel's Capital is Tel Aviv

It is far from news that the Arab world does not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I never thought about what they think is the capital, if they acknowledge that a country does, in fact, exist there.

According to Al Jazeera, it is Tel Aviv. This is a headline from an article. Normally a media source refers to the government of a country by its capital city name. For example, Washington, Damascus, London, Paris, Moscow...
Israel's Interior Minister warns Tel Aviv against attacking Tehran saying such an attack would be a 'megalomaniacal reckless' idea.
That is straight from the source. Interesting to see what they will call an Israeli capital.
