PA Removes Western Wall Report from Website

(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh and Jordana Horn - A senior PA official in Ramallah revealed that at the request of the U.S., a PA "study" that rejects Jewish claims to the Western Wall in Jerusalem was removed on Wednesday from the official website of the Palestinian Ministry of Information. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said it was not enough for the PA to pretend this "study" never happened, but it was important that the leadership denounce it publicly. "It is important for confidence-building that the Palestinian Authority publicly prepare people for peace and reconciliation, and that can only be done if Palestinian leaders publicly disassociate themselves from such remarks and condemn all statements that call Israel fundamentally illegitimate," one official in the Prime Minister's Office said. "As long as the Jewish state remains illegitimate in Palestinian eyes, peace will not be real."
