'There are villages... that the Palestinians call Jerusalem... It is possible to define them as a capital'

Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Monday that there are places within the Jerusalem area that the Palestinians could consider as their capital.

"I repeat and insist that Jerusalem is the unified capital of the State of Israel,” he said in an interview with 103FM Radio

"And I do not see how we can continue towards an arrangement (with the Palestinians) in the coming years, but we must begin by initiating processes to reduce the conflict and strengthen security," he said.
