Small wonder that, soon after uniting Jerusalem, the Knesset passed a law protecting the Holy Places of all religions against desecration and ensuring freedom of access and prayer. But since last year, Resolution 242 has fallen by the wayside. It's an ingenious strategy, and one for which the Palestinian negotiators should be congratulated. So, there really isn't a Jerusalem Question after all. Thanks to the League of Arab States and Jordanian opportunism in 1967, it's already been solved.
Possession being nine-tenths of the law, a united Jerusalem belongs to Israel.
Perhaps some will find this solution inequitable, but divided cities rarely find peace. Look at Nicosia, Cold War Berlin and Mitrovica in Kosovo. Let that not be the fate of Jerusalem.
