Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu challenged U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s strong anti-united Jerusalem stand and told a cheering American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) crowd Monday night, “Jerusalem is not a settlement; it’s our capital.”
The United States the past two years has rapidly moved towards including Jerusalem as an issue to be discussed with the Palestinian Authority even before the subjects of Arab terrorism and incitement and the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria are settled. Secretary Clinton’s stand inherently backs PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ claim that Jerusalem must be the capital of a future PA state, leaving little room for “negotiations” in the talks.
