He has fanned the flames of British debate over EU membership by insisting that fiscal union in the eurozone will lead to "intensified political union" for all 27 member states.

2. According to The Times of Israel, Jerusalem's mayor Nir Bar-kat has ruled out any notion of Palestinian rule in the capital and says it is 'ridiculous' that Jews can't pray on the Temple Mount. In arguably the most candid and forthright interview he has given since winning office in 2008, Bar-kat suggested that if the Palestinians wanted a capital in Jerusalem they could rename Ramallah "Jerusalem" or "northern Jerusalem." He said, "it was in Jerusalem's DNA to be a united city, under sole Jewish rule."
