Israeli Prime Minister Says Jerusalem Will Never Be Divided
[Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs] Speaking at the state ceremony at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem on Thursday marking Jerusalem Day, he said: "United Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Jerusalem has always been - and always will be - ours. It will never again be divided or cut in half. Jerusalem will remain only under Israel's sovereignty. In united Jerusalem, the freedom of worship and freedom of access for all three religions to the holy sites will be guaranteed, and it is the only way to guarantee that members of all faiths, minorities and denominations can continue living here safely." As a boy I remember the elation when we heard the news that the Temple Mount is in our hands. "The excitement we felt was something neither we nor any other Jew experienced for generations. It lifted the hearts of Jews all over the world....The liberation of Jerusalem and the Western Wall marked for all of us the deep connection to the roots of Jewish history. We felt that the dream of generations had finally come true."
