| Jerusalem |
|
United Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish people in the State of Israel. This is not a policy statement but a statement of fact. We demand: A. Uninterrupted Jewish building in all parts of Jerusalem to ensure the unity of the Israeli capital
B. The transfer to Jerusalem of all Israeli Government offices, institutions and public organizations and allowing the establishment of foreign consular offices only in Jerusalem
C. The guaranteeing of open access to the Holy Places to all, and in particular the guaranteeing of every Jew’s right to pray on the Temple mount
To this we would add, our own view not necessarily that of the party, that Judaism is a firmly national and non-imperial way of being and that the governance of the entire land should be in accord with those principles: Israel must be fully sovereign and primary in its entire land. D. The prevention of illegal building by the Arabs in eastern Jerusalem and in the areas of Judea and Samaria surrounding Jerusalem |
