Rightist editor: Olmert and Livni should be executed for treason
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Jerusalem, Ehud Olmert, Nativ 

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni should be tried and sentenced to death for treason for holding negotiations over the future of Jerusalem, the editor of a right-wing Israeli journal said Sunday.

"Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni, who are leading open negotiations over the handing over of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, must according to international law and guidelines on treason be sentenced to death," Aryeh Stav, editor of Nativ said on Sunday.

In response to a questionnaire submitted by Haaretz, Stav said "statesmen who hold negotiations to hand over control of their capital is something that simply does not take place any where in the world."

Stav added that in Israel, "the laws on this matter are clear, but no one enforces them or makes sure that the criminals who violate these laws are prosecuted."

Stav's comments came during a conference held in Ramle examining the role of religion in mixed cities where both Jews and Arabs live.

Stav has edited Nativ for over twenty years, and has published 210 research projects through the journal
