Politicians on the Right called upon Shas to leave the government immediately on Sunday after The Jerusalem Post revealed that secret talks were taking place with the Palestinians in which Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni had made concessions on Jerusalem. [Nir Barkat.]

As reported in Sunday's Post, a senior Palestinian Authority official in Ramallah said that the Palestinian negotiating team headed by former PA prime minister Ahmed Qurei had been holding "secret talks" with Livni and other government officials over the past few weeks.
"There are public meetings and there are secret ones," the PA official explained. "The main progress has been achieved during the secret talks, particularly on the issue of Jerusalem. Today we can say that Israel is prepared to withdraw from almost all the Arab neighborhoods and villages in Jerusalem. Israel is prepared to redivide Jerusalem, and this is a positive development."

Better build a 100 ft. wall and site missle defenses.
If true, this is madness.
Livni is the Israeli equivalent to Madeleine HalfBright - willing to sell out her country for the appeasement of any opponent.
If Christians care about maintaining any Holy sights in Jerusalem, they will oppose the division of Jerusalem in any way. Hamas and the other muzzies have proven that they will take any steps they are allowed to in order to remove, destroy or deteriorate any site which is not theirs.
They have even recently created a myth that there was never a Temple built by Solomon and that King David was simply some hilltop village leader. They’ve done this to try to discredit the Temple Mount from being considered a Holy Site for Jews and thus discredit any connection Jews would have to Jerusalem. And in doing so they are attacking Christianity as well since they have to undo the entire Old Testament in order to rewrite history to make Jerusalem a city only of interest to Islam.
If you have any idea what Christianity have faced in Bethelem, Jerusalem is not something anybody should seriously consider handing over to them. I’d rather see the Swiss come in with their soldiers in goofy outfits standing guard at every mosque, temple, shrine and church.
Oh G-d, how sickening. Yalla ya Shas, please quit the government NOW!
This is BS. Total BS. No division of Jerusalem will ever work.
