The photo isn't bad, but the next time post a better and more recent pic.

In the Colombian forum there are hundred of very good pictures of Bogotá's Skyline, and much more recent .

I don't think the government is in Tel Aviv. Jerusalem is the capital though.

From Wiki-
Capital of Israel

Further information: Positions on Jerusalem
See also: Politics of Israel

On December 5, 1949, the State of Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, proclaimed Jerusalem as Israel's capital[14] and since then all branches of the Israeli government — legislative, judicial, and executive — have resided there.[84] At the time of the proclamation, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan and thus only West Jerusalem was considered Israel's capital. Immediately after the 1967 Six-Day War, however, Israel annexed East Jerusalem, making it a de facto part of the Israeli capital. Israel enshrined the status of the "complete and united" Jerusalem — west and east — as its capital, in the 1980 Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel.[61]
