Knesset Speaker: Jerusalem Will Never Be Divided Despite EU Plan
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Knesset members from across the political spectrum condemned a plan by the EU that was reported on Tuesday to unilaterally declare Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state. "Jerusalem must never be divided, because it would only enhance the conflict and not solve it," said Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, whose family has lived in the capital for a century. "Splitting sovereignty would bring about complete chaos," he said, adding that Israel had proven that adherents of Judaism, Islam and Christianity could live together in Jerusalem.
