Olmert to Merkel: Israel Will Continue to Build in Jerusalem
[Ha'aretz] Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday that Israel would continue building in those areas of Jerusalem that it expects to keep under a final peace agreement. "Everyone knows that there is no chance that the State of Israel will give up a neighborhood like...Har Homa. It is an inseparable part of Jerusalem," Olmert said. "We have announced that there will be places where there will be additional building. These are places that will remain with Israel in any constellation, and this includes first and foremost Jerusalem, and everyone knows it," he said.
