Document: Shimon Peres Letter to the Norwegian Foreign Minister on Palestinian Institutions in Jerusalem

Minister of Foreign Affairs

Jerusalem, October 11 1993

Dear Minister Holst

I wish to confirm that the Palestinian institutions of East Jerusalem and the interests and well-being of the Palestinians of East Jerusalem are of great importance and will be preserved.

Therefore, all the Palestinian institutions of East Jerusalem, including the economic, social, educational and cultural, and the holy Christian and Muslim places are performing an essential task for the Palestinian population.

Needless to say, we will not hamper their activity; on the contrary, the fulfillment of this important mission is to be encouraged.

Sincerely

Shimon Peres

Foreign Minister of Israel
