Israel's vice premier wants Palestinian neighborhoods excluded from Jerusalem following a deadly rampage by a local Arab.
Israeli leaders oppose dividing the city, defined as Israel's eternal capital. Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, which Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War, as the capital of their future state.
The man who fatally crushed three Israelis with a construction vehicle Wednesday before he was killed lived in east Jerusalem, where Arab residents have full access to the whole city.
Haim Ramon told Army Radio Thursday that the Arab neighborhoods were artificially incorporated into Jerusalem and should be ceded to the West Bank.
"They were annexed in 1967 and we call them Jerusalem, even though there is not one Jerusalemite there," he said.
