Almost two years ago, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu described Israel’s geographic needs outside of Jerusalem exclusively on a military basis:
“Regarding the remaining important issues that will be discussed as part of a final peace settlement, my positions are known: Israel needs defensible borders, and Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, must remain undivided with continued religious freedom for all faiths.”

Today Mr. Netanyahu restored national considerations not related to security to Israel’s geographic needs:
“Under any realistic peace agreement, these areas [neighborhoods and suburbs of Jerusalem and Greater Tel Aviv]., as well as other places of critical strategic and national importance, will be incorporated into the final borders of Israel.”

A prime example of a place of “national importance” is the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
