Jerusalem Mayor: Sharing Israel's Capital Would Bring "a Trojan Horse into the Heart of the City"
(Ha'aretz) Natasha Mozgovaya - Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat told the Washington Institute for Near East Policy on Wednesday that a divided capital could never function. "There is not one example in the world of a split city that worked," he said. The mayor cited Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. "Israel took a risk in Gaza....We thought we were doing business with the PLO, but we got Hamas. Doing the same thing in Jerusalem would be like having a Trojan horse in the heart of the city."
