Revision as of 23:13, 18 September 2012 by Hilary Aked (talk | contribs)
Nir Barkat was elected Mayor of Jerusalem in November 2008. He is a high-tech entrepreneur millionaire and a secularist.
He rejects the idea that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state and has supported controversial proposals for an area in the Palestinian East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan to be turned into an archaeological park.[1]
