Legislation making it practically impossible to divide Al Quds in diplomatic negotiations can move forward after an Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved it Sunday, The Jerusalem Post newspaper reported.
The amendment to Basic Law pushed by Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett states that giving up Israeli sovereignty over any part of occupied East Jerusalem would require approval by 80 MKs, three-fourths of the Knesset.
Bennett said that “uniting around the united Jerusalem bill will strengthen us in the world and prevent future pressures on Israel.”
“[Al Quds] was saved from the disaster of division twice, led by [former prime ministers] Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak, who had a temporary majority in the Knesset,” Bennett recounted. “That’s over. The united Jerusalem bill…will prevent any possibility of dividing [Al Quds].
