The U.S. administration will ask Israel to withdraw from four Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, which will likely become the capital of a future Palestinian state, according to an Israeli press report.

Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post reported Friday that U.S. officials had informed Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman about the plan during the latter’s visit to Washington last week.

This may be coming through the WH from the SA, Jordan, Egypt .... for a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as the capital.  I doubt the Arab states want to surrender East Jerusalem to Israel.

I agree.  I especially like the regional approach to this.  In the end there may be a small Palestinian state but Israel will have stronger bridges to her Arab neighbors and be safer for it.

Not according to the prophets. We're setting up to be on the wrong side of 'When they cry peace, peace', and 'Dividing MY land'...

Sure.  Why should places like Sredot and Ashkelon get to have all the katyusha rocket fun?
