The Fate of Jerusalem under a President Obama

Senator Obama's newest Middle East Advisor Daniel Kurtzer, of whom we have written about here has recently telegraphed that an Obama Administration will place the fate of Jerusalem as part of the peace process that a future Obama Administration will push. Kurtzer articulated these views in a very undiplomatic way-as a mandatory reuqirement for any peace talks to proceed.

"It will be impossible to make progress on serious peace talks without putting the future of Jerusalem on the table,"

Then Kurtzer continues to inform Israel ( a sovereign nation) that future Israeli governments "will have to deal with the issue of Jerusalem, as opposed to the current Israeli Administration which is not."
