Olmert Admits He Offered to Divide Jerusalem including Western Wall

Olmert Admits He Offered to Divide Jerusalem including Western Wall
Over the years One Jerusalem has reported that Prime Minister Olmert was offering to give away parts of Jerusalem. Now the outgoing Prime Minister is confirming this story that he had denied.

Olmert has told Israel's press that he offered Abbas 93% of the West Bank and parts of Jerusalem. And he was prepared to turn the Holy Sites, including the holiest sites in Judaism,over to some undefined international entity. 

Olmert's final offer to Abbas, would have provided terrorists with an advance base of operations in Jerusalem and it would have turned over the Old City to an international community that is hostile to the State of Israel.

In Israel's latest national elections the Israeli public decisively rejected dividing Jerusalem.
