Israel's leader does not want to share Jerusalem

JERUSALEM – Israel's leader on Sunday dismissed a call from a key government partner to share the holy city of Jerusalem with the Palestinians, a reminder of the obstacles facing already troubled peacemaking efforts.

Conflicting claims to east Jerusalem lie at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The dispute over the area, home to sensitive Jewish, Muslim and Christian holy sites, has derailed past peace talks and spilled into violence. Palestinians claim the sector as the capital of their future state.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reaffirmation of his intention to hold on to east Jerusalem drew criticism from the Palestinians and was likely to increase friction with the Americans. The White House Mideast envoy is scheduled to arrive this week in another attempt to push peace efforts forward.

BIBI!!! Leader of the Free World rocks!

God bless this man and Israel, and keep them safe from all their enemies without and within! (Sadly, including the current President of the United States!) :-(

Gee, the kids don’t want to share their sandbox on their own private property with the weapon-carrying reformatory bullies down the street. Wonder why.

Maybe the French should share the Left Bank with the Germans? I understand they (the Germans) had military control there once.

"East Jerusalem" is where the Wall is, and the Temple Mount too.

Good for him and Israel.

They need to act in their own best interests and not make decisions based on US pressure.

The Obama administration would be happy to march all the Israelis off to palestinian concentration camps, like Treblinka, if they could get away with it.

BRAVO! I’m opposed to sharing the planet- even AIR- with any Muslims. Give them NOTHING, share nothing with evil!

If Israel ever gives an inch on this it will only be a matter of time before they lose all of Jerusalem and, consequently, Israel itself. Jerusalem IS Israel.

Why dont we give half of DC to Maryland...and half to Virginia...see how that idea floats in Washington...as for myself...this idea makes more sense than dividing Jerusalem. What say you?

Why is Jordan NEVER mentioned in these articles. Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in 1967.

Jordan renounced its claim to the West Bank in 1988.
