The demand by Shas Chairman Eli Yishai, as he told the media, to receive a public promise from Livni, preferably signed, that she "does not intend to bring up the subject of Jerusalem in negotiations with the Palestinians," is not even worth negotiating. Livni must inform Yishai publicly, preferably in writing, that he can forget about that demand. She must tell him that if he wants a promise that Jerusalem will not be a part of the negotiations for a final status agreement, he should look for it in the Likud. It can also be suggested to him that on his way there, he should order posters proclaiming: "Livni will divide Jerusalem."

Shas Will Not Enter Coalition
(IsraelNN.com) In a politically dramatic announcement Friday, the hareidi-sephardic party, Shas, said it would not be joining a new government under Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni "under any conditions."
Shas announced that its Council of Torah Sages - headed by Rabbi Ovadia Yosef - decided, after its members were polled by telephone, that the party will be staying out of Livni's coalition. The wording – "under any conditions" – appears to rule out the possibility that this is just political brinkmanship or a part of the customary haggling in negotiations between parties.
"Throughout the coalition negotiations Shas did not ask for titles or any political upgrading, but only two things: aid for the weak layers in Israeli society and protection of Jerusalem," Shas stated.

Livni, Akiva Eldar, and the lot of them must also, like their idol, be "tired of fighting, tired of winning, tired of defeating our enemies..."
Since, according to Meir Shetreet, they have no ideology and no party platform, they can divide Jerusalem without thinking of any consequences... to them, it must be just one more computer game.
