Israel Opposes Swedish Initiative on Jerusalem
(Ynet News) Roni Sofer - A senior political source on Monday defined Sweden's attempt to declare Jerusalem the capital of Palestine as an "underhanded move by Stockholm, a mere moment before its term as head of the EU is over. We are making efforts to thwart this move at the highest diplomatic levels." Senior political sources said the majority of the 27 European representatives were against such a move. According to the sources, those opposing the decision have accepted Israel's position that this is not the time to make any statements which may discourage the Palestinians from resuming peace talks.
