Book by Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Ministry presents arguments by some of the world's top jurists, refuting allegations that Israeli presence in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria violates international law
The cover of a compilation asserting Israeli sovereignty over
Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria
A new government
publication states, for the first time, that Israel has an exclusive
right to Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria.
The book, titled "Israel's Right as of
Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria," is a compilation of materials and
lectures first presented at a Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Ministry
symposium last year, which was attended by some of the world's leading
jurists and diplomats.
The symposium, led by Jerusalem Affairs and
Heritage Minister Zeev Elkin, was held as part of the ministry's
international program to bolster Jerusalem's status as Israel's
capital.
The book has been printed in several
hundred copies, to be distributed in Israel's missions worldwide and
to top foreign diplomats, jurists and leaders of public opinion.
The ministry said this was the first time a
book dealing with the issue of Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and
Judea and Samaria has been published.
"For years, we have had to tolerate the
false message that Israel's very presence in reunified Jerusalem and
in Judea and Samaria are a violation of international law," said
ministry Director General Ran Yishai.
"The world's top jurists have refuted this
notion, but they have been all but silenced by a pro-Arab campaign
using false legal arguments to justify international bodies and
countries' anti-Israeli policy," he said.
"Now, the State of Israel has put together
arguments by some of the world's greatest legal experts, including by
some who have personally shaped international law, that prove Israel
is in the right even when faced with legal bullying in the
international arena," Yishai concluded.
