Occupied Jerusalem

A blog post titled Seperation Wall's Sub-contactor meets Livni in Jerusalem details a meeting between Ahmed Qurei and Tzipi Livni at the King David Hotel. The article states that the Fatah leader "Ahmed Qurei met in occupied Jerusalem on Sunday with Israeli Kadima party leader and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni."

A travel guide offers places of interest in West Jerusalem with the King David Hotel being described as, "opened in 1931, this majestic accommodation is Israel’s 5-star hotel."

Under the title Jerusalem/West, wikitravel.org lists the King David Hotel.

Can someone explain to me why the King David hotel meeting was described as a meeting in occupied Jerusalem? Am I missing something? I thought the Palestinians only had their sights on East Jerusalem.
Incidentally, the title in the blog post about the meeting has a spelling mistake in the word "seperation." (separation) Perhaps there is a factual error, as well. Or are there factual errors in the travel guides?
