The Hamas terrorist organization might take over Jerusalem within 12 years, not by force but rather, by demographics, according the mayor of the capital, Uri Lupolianski.

The mayor told cabinet ministers Sunday morning that “Jerusalem may, G-d forbid, not be under Jewish sovereignty, but ruled by Hamas, which knows that it can conquer [it] demographically within 12 years. We need a plan in order to ensure that Jerusalem remain Israel’s capital for all eternity,” Lupolianski warned the ministers.

Minister Yaakov Edery concurred, saying “We all need to take the mayor’s comments seriously,” adding that the threat is “severe and significant to the Jewish future of Jerusalem.”
