“Israeli Lawmakers Make It Tougher to Divide Jerusalem”
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
November 14, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - A law that will make it more difficult for the Israeli government to divide the city of Jerusalem passed a preliminary reading by a large majority in the Israeli Knesset on Wednesday.

The vote comes ahead of the U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian summit, where the issue of dividing Jerusalem may come up.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has indicated that he would be willing to divide Jerusalem between Jewish and Arab neighborhoods - a plan first put forward by then-President Bill Clinton in 2000. (See related story)

A close confidant of Olmert’s, Vice Prime Minister Haim Ramon, went a step further, suggesting that the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Jerusalem, be turned over to the Palestinian Authority. (Several important Islamic shrines are now built on the Temple Mount, atop the ruins of ancient Jewish temples.)

Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu recently warned that dividing Jerusalem would be tantamount to turning the city over to Hamas as Islamic radicals moved onto the doorstep of the city’s Jewish neighborhoods.”
