Israel, Arabic Isrāʾīl, officially State of Israel or Hebrew Medinat Yisraʾel, country in the Middle East, located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bounded to the north by Lebanon, to the northeast by Syria, to the east and southeast by Jordan, to the southwest by Egypt, and to the west by the Mediterranean Sea. Jerusalem is the seat of government and the proclaimed capital, although the latter status has not received wide international recognition.

The meaning of "although the latter status has not received wide international recognition" appears to have two implications:
One is that the proclaimed capital nJerusalem has not received wide international recognition; the other is that the state of Israel has received wide international acceptance.
The first is clear while the second seems to be ambiguous. I am not sure.
Does the clause really have both implications?
