The Foreign Ministry responded to criticism from Russia and France calling for Israel to halt all settlement activity in the West Bank.
Ministry spokesman Yossi Levy said, "Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, it is united and the Jews can live there, as in Cape Town, New York, and Moscow. We will not accept a claim saying a Jew cannot live in his capital city." (Roni Sofer)
