Kadima Party leader Tzipi Livni, who is to inform President Shimon Peres today that she failed at forming a new government, admits it's because she refused a Shas demand to promise to keep all of Jerusalem.

Livni was able to reach a coalition agreement with Labor, but the Shas Party informed her late last week that it would be unable to join her government. Without Shas, Livni cannot form a government with a comfortable Knesset majority.

Shas says that Livni refused to meet its demands: Increased montly child allowance payments for large and medium-sized families, and a promise to keep Jerusalem united and Israeli.

Livni herself has admitted to both these points, taking credit not only for declining to increase child allowances, but for refusing to promise to keep Jerusalem Jewish.

Livni: For Israel's Sake, Jerusalem Must be Negotiated Kadima leader Livni - the incumbent Foreign Minister who has been leading negotiations with the Palestinian Authority - was quoted on Voice of Israel radio as having said, "For the benefit of the State, I cannot promise not to hold negotiations over Jerusalem."

A spokesman for Opposition Leader Binyamin Netanyahu, who is expected to win the coming election, said that the fact that Livni was unable to come towards Shas on its Jerusalem demand is "proof that she has no backbone or ability to withstand the pressures of negotiations."

Please Lord, help Israel.

In the opinion of this Virginia Catholic, Jerusalam is non-negotiable - period. It has always been the captial of Israel and always will be. Someone a lot bigger than all these politicians put His Name in Jerusalem. Anyone that wants to give away part (or all) of Jerusalem to the Amalekstinians is poking their finger in the Eye of the Almighty.

Revelation 16:19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

Tick tock!
