After Mitt Romney repeatedly stresses that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, Chief Palestinian negotiator Erekat says "those who stand tall for 2 state solution must stand tall for E. J'lem as Palestine's capital."
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat on Sunday criticized Romney's declarations that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, saying, "I don't think occupation and aggression is rewarded even during an election campaign," according to CNN.
Romney delivered a foreign policy speech in Jerusalem on Sunday, saying it was a deeply moving experience to be in Jerusalem, "the capital of Israel."
"East Jerusalem is occupied territory," Erekat said. "Those who seek peace between Palestine and Israel and those who seek to save lives must stand tall for the two state solution and for East Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Palestine."
