Even though some reports indicated that the recent talks between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama succeeded in establishing a foundation for the renewal of the peace process, some contadictory reports indicate that the status quo has not changed.
Netanyahu, speaking at a rally in Jerusalem, unequivcally asserted that the holy city remains Israeli and will always belong to the Jewish people, undivided. Most analysts of the peace process assert the need to divide the city based on the creation of a two-state solution with the city either as the capital of both Israel and the Palestinian state or establishing an international organization to administer the city’s affairs.
