Likud: Any land ceded to Palestinians will become terror base

The Likud said in response to Defense Minister Ehud Barak's statements regarding the possibility of Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods becoming part of a future Palestinian capital: "Jerusalem must remain under Israeli sovereignty, both for security reasons and national ones.

"Any territory ceded to the Palestinians will become a base for terrorism, from which they will launch attacks on the rest of the city," the party said in a statement. (Attila Somfalvi)
