  • A Political-Urban Action Plan to Create a Greater Jerusalem and Prevent Its Division To
    A political-urban action plan to create a Greater Jerusalem and prevent its division To: Re: The "Jerusalem Shield" Program, a political-urban action plan to create a Greater Jerusalem and prevent its division We are honored to present to you the Jerusalem Shield Program - a political-urban action plan to strengthen united Jerusalem and prevent its division. It was formulated on the backdrop of our great concern over the dangerous plan for dividing the city supported in the past by important people in the national and international arenas, such as Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, as well as Bill Clinton and John Kerry. In addition, former Minister Chaim Ramon and several former IDF generals have proposed a division plan under the misleading name, "The Movement to Save Jewish Jerusalem." If a plan such as the above was ever to be implemented, it would expose the city to very grave security and demographic threats, undermine and destabilize Jerusalem's status as Israel's capital city, damage its delicate urban fabric, and greatly weaken the city in general. This would have ripple effects throughout Israel. The "Jerusalem Shield" Program was written over the course of the past year by a team of experts who, by the nature of their work, have long accompanied the national and religious struggle for Jerusalem, as well as the challenges faced by the city as an urban center and a capital with uniquely complex and difficult problems. The objectives of our program are as follows: • To preserve united Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, for the benefit of all its citizens, both Jews and Arabs, predicated upon the rights of the Jewish nation to the city.
