Das preußische Konsulat in Jerusalem wurde 1842 gegründet. Ab 1868 war sie als Konsulat des Norddeutschen Bundes und in den Jahren 1871-1913 als Konsulat - und seit 1913 als Generalkonsulat - des Deutschen Reiches tätig. 1844 wurde in Jaffa eine deutsche Konsularagentur gegründet, die als Zweigstelle des Konsulats in Jerusalem fungierte. 1870 wurde das Büro in Jaffa als Vizekonsulat anerkannt. Ein professioneller Konsul wurde 1895 in Jaffa ernannt und der Status des Büros wurde entsprechend geändert, um die Zuständigkeit in Zivil- und Strafsachen einzubeziehen. In Haifa nahm 1877 eine Konsularagentur ihre Arbeit auf, die 1908 zum Vizekonsulat wurde. Mit der Eroberung Palästinas durch die alliierten Armeen 1917 wurden die Konsulate geschlossen und die deutschen Interessen vom spanischen Konsulat wahrgenommen. 1924 wurde dem spanischen Konsulat ein deutscher Konsul angegliedert und 1925 ein deutscher Konsul für Palästina wieder ernannt. Das Konsulat wurde 1939 bei Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs geschlossen.

Während seiner ersten 25 Jahre war das Jerusalemer Konsulat der Verwaltungsbehörde des Generalkonsulats in Beyrouth unterstellt; es wurde 1868 dem Außenministerium in Berlin unterstellt und 1913 offiziell in den Rang eines "Generalkonsulats" erhoben.

Während seiner 97-jährigen Tätigkeit wurden die territorialen Grenzen des Konsulats in Jerusalem mehrfach geändert. Während der osmanischen Zeit war die Gerichtsbarkeit des Konsulats koextensiv mit dem Verwaltungsbereich des Sanjak (Bezirk) von Jerusalem, der Jaffa und das Gaza-Gebiet umfasste. Im Jahre 1871 kamen die Sanjaks von Acre und Nablus hinzu, aber ein Jahrzehnt später wurde der Sanjak von Acre, einschließlich Haifa, an den deutschen Konsul in Beyrouth übergeben. Im Jahre 1883 wurde der neue Sanjak von Ma'an (Südtransjordanien) unter die Gerichtsbarkeit des Konsuls in Jerusalem gebracht.

In the 17th century, King Louis the 13th decided to appoint a French consul in Jerusalem, as he was urged to protect the Latin people and restore their threatened rights. But until 1842, the French presence in town remained occasional.
Before the French consulate being stable, French and Palestinian affairs were ruled by other French consulates first in Aleppo, then in Cairo and finally in Damascus.
On the 29th December of 1842, the French Foreign office established a consulate in Jerusalem, and first put in charge Count Gabriel de Lantivy. For quite a long time, consuls’ missions had been both religious and political. Consuls were directly under the authority of the French embassy in Constantinople.

In 1871, the defeat of France against Germany unsettled the protectorate and French prerogatives upon the Christian monks it had to protect. Therefore, the French Foreign office deeply reformed the consulate so that it could better serve the French interests in the area. At the end of the 19th century, the Consul of France used the powerful French Catholic missionary movement to enlarge his influence. Many French religious orders came and settled their houses in Jerusalem and around Holy places (Mytilene agreement in 1901 and Treaty of Constantinople in 1913). Thus, the French presence in the area increased just before the First World War. Furthemore, capitulations of the Ottoman Empire allowed France to gather more and more people under its protection. In addition, as a consequence of colonization of Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa, the Consulate also began to protect a larger number of Muslim and Jewish citizens who came and lived in the Holy City.
Franco-Russian Alliance (1891) brought some troubles to the Consulate. The diplomatic and political crisis the Ottoman Empire got through until the First World War unsettled its authority. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1918, the General Consulate in Jerusalem enfranchised from the French Embassy authority in Constantinople and became General Consulate. In may 1941, The Consulate was closed upon mandatory British authorities.

Jerusalem municipal council (majlis baladiyya, meclis-i belediye) came into existence in the early 1860s. Jerusalem was, in fact, one of the very first cities within the Ottoman Empire to form a municipality, which was further consolidated after the Ottoman law on municipalities in 1877. From the 1880s onward, the municipal council was composed of nine to twelve members, elected for a renewable mandate of four years: there were generally six Muslims, two Christians, and one or two Jews on the council (depending on the period), in addition to a maximum of four ex officio members.

The Chief Procurator (also Ober-Procurator; обер-прокурор, ober-prokuror) was the official title of the head of the Most Holy Synod, effectively the lay head of the Russian Orthodox Church, and a member of the Tsar's cabinet. Konstantin Pobedonostsev, a former tutor both of Alexander III and of Nicholas II, was one of the most powerful men to hold the post, from 1880 to 1905.
The General Procurator (Procurator General) and the Chief Procurator were major supervisory positions in the Russian Governing Senate, which functioned from 1711 to 1917, with their meaning changing over time. Eventually Chief Procurator became the title of the head of a department of the Senate.
