Jerusalem, 18 February 1996
CABINET SECRETARY'S STATEMENT
(Communicated by the Cabinet Secretariat)
In the wake of charges made against the Prime Minister and the Government regarding the intention, as it were, to divide Jerusalem and with regard to secret talks allegedly being conducted on the matter the Prime Minister wishes to emphatically and unequivocally state that he has no knowledge whatsoever of any official persons dealing with Jerusalem or conducting negotiations on this issue. Reports of this are baseless. The Prime Minister emphasized that the entire Cabinet is united on the principle that Jerusalem should not be divided, and allegations to the contrary should be considered incitement.
