Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak urged Palestinians on Wednesday to be flexible in peace negotiations over Jerusalem, reported Reuters.
Barak issued a statement saying the sides would not be able to negotiate on Jerusalem if the Palestinians insisted on digging their heels in. The fate of Jerusalem was thought to be the biggest obstacle at last month's Camp David peace summit.
"Between the Americans, Egyptians, the Palestinians and ourselves, there is no meaningful discussion (on Jerusalem). Only if we see a certain flexibility and open mind by the other side will there be a chance that a discussion will take place," Barak said in a statement issued by his office.
