Haaretz Exclusive: EU draft document on division of Jerusalem
By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Middle East peace 
Current EU president Sweden has proposed that the body recognize East Jerusalem as Palestinian capital.
 

The current holder of the rotating European Union presidency, Sweden, has put together a draft document calling for the division of Jerusalem between Israel and a future Palestinian state and implying that the EU would recognize a unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood.

Haaretz has obtained a copy of the document (below) that has sparked criticism by Israel, which claims that such a move would further harm the chances of renewing the Mideast peace process.
