"Moderate" Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday reiterated that he will never make peace with Israel unless he is guaranteed sovereign control over the eastern half of Jerusalem.
Abbas insisted that all areas of the holy city that until 1967 were under illegal Jordanian occupation must return to Arab rule, including the various neighborhoods where tens of thousands of Jews live today and the Old City, home to the Temple Mount.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that Jerusalem will never again be divided, and the vast majority of Israelis support that position.
