Netanyahu turns to Bible in tussle over Jerusalem
"Because you asked: Jerusalem is mentioned 142 times in the New Testament, and none of the 16 various Arabic names for Jerusalem is
mentioned in the Koran. But in an expanded interpretation of the Koran
from the 12th century, one passage is said to refer to Jerusalem," he
said.
Responding to Netanyahu's citations, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said: "I find it very distasteful, this use of religion to incite hatred and fear. East Jerusalem is an occupied Palestinian town, and East Jerusalem cannot continue to be occupied if there is to be peace."
