BEGIN: CONSIDERING JERUSALEM CONCESSIONS HURT FUTURE

Cabinet Minister Benny Begin argues putting Jerusalem up for division in the past damages the citys future. He said past negotiators for Israel agreed to consider giving up the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives and the City of David. Begin continued, saying such deals would not again be considered by the Israeli Government. The son of former Prime Minister Menachem Begin made the statement at a conference in Jerusalem.
