Netanyahu:
We Will Never Divide Jerusalem, No
Matter
What Obama Threatens
Israel's capital will never be
divided,
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
reiterated
during a speech at Ammunition Hill
in honor
of Jerusalem Day on Wednesday
evening.
"We
cannot divide or freeze a city as
vibrant
and creative as Jerusalem - we will
continue
to build and be built by it,"
Netanyahu
stressed.
"Jerusalem
Day is the day on which Jerusalem
was
finally liberated, and was able to
take all
of its residents, Jewish and Arab,
under its
wings," Netanyahu said. "Never
again shall it be suffocated, gloomy
or
divided.
We
are the generation which was lucky
enough to
see our holy sites liberated and
returned to
our hands, and it is upon us to
transfer
this right to our children," the
prime
minister continued.
During
his speech, Netanyahu also touched
upon the
peace process and the significant
role
Jerusalem seems to be playing in its
advancement. "I believe that we will
achieve peace, but whoever suggests
that the
problems with the peace process are
really
based on a problem with Jerusalem,
we will
remind them that [Jerusalem] was
once
divided, but [nevertheless] war
raged
there," he said.
