will never be divided

JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says
Jerusalem will never be divided. His long-standing policy puts him
at odds with the Palestinians and much of the world.
Netanyahu spoke late Tuesday on the eve of Jerusalem Day, which
commemorates Israel's capture of east Jerusalem in the 1967
Mideast war.
"The rocks and archaeological artifacts found in Jerusalem expose
the deep ties between the Jewish people and its capital,"
Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu spoke at a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem where eight
students were shot dead by a Palestinian gunman in 2008.
Playing on a 2000 year old Jewish prayer yearning for a return to
Jerusalem, Netanyahu said "Next year in a more built up
Jerusalem."
Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future
state.
