Netanyahu: Israel Won’t Allow Division of Jerusalem
---------------------------------------------------



In Israel and the Occupied Territories, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu has declared Israel will never cede control over all of
Jerusalem. Palestinians have called for sovereignty over East Jerusalem
as part of any future peace deal. But on Thursday, Netanyahu said
Jerusalem will remain undivided.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “A united Jerusalem is the
capital of Israel. Jerusalem was and will always be ours. It shall never
be divided and split again.”

Netanyahu’s comments come just three days after his White House meeting
with President Obama where he pledged to seek peace with Palestinians.
