(Jerusalem Post) Itamar Marcus and Maurice Hirsch - While President Biden is talking about reopening a U.S. consulate in Jerusalem to make it easier for the Palestinian population to receive consular services, the Palestinian Authority sees it as redividing Jerusalem, an act that would violate American law. The Jerusalem Embassy Act, enacted in 1995, clearly states: "Jerusalem should remain an undivided city...recognized as the capital of the State of Israel." The PA sees opening the consulate in Jerusalem as a rejection of this statute. PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh stated on Sep. 14, 2021: "The message from this [Biden] administration is that Jerusalem is not one [united Israeli] city....We want the American Consulate to constitute the seed of a U.S. embassy in the State of Palestine." Itamar Marcus is director of Palestinian Media Watch, where Maurice Hirsch is head of legal strategies. 2021-10-21 00:00:00Full Article
