Livni: Resolution to divide Jerusalem would remove EU from peace process

Livni Resolution to div

Kadima and opposition leader Tzipi Livni on Tuesday backed the Foreign Ministry's stance on a Swedish-backed resolution to officially call for the division of Jerusalem, saying it was "wrong and not helpful." In a letter to Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, she conveyed "deep concern regarding what appears to be an attempt to prejudge the outcome of issues reserved for final status negotiations." European efforts to "dictate for either party the nature of the outcome on the status of Jerusalem," she said, would only serve to endanger the fulfillment of "our shared vision of two states for two peoples into a reality."
