The Leak to AL-Monitor
Reader comment on item: If Trump Wants to Divide Jerusalem into Three
Submitted by Jeffrey Sheff, Dec 24, 2018 at 13:03
Two thoughts occur to me:
First: if a "senior diplomatic source" wishes to leak this information, why would he do it to a minor Jewish publication.
Second:, could this be a "trial balloon" to see how Jewish voters react to these ideas?

Daniel Pipes replies:
1. Last I checked, Al-Monitor was a pro-Assad website owned by an Arab-American.
2. It could be a trial balloon but why do you assume specifically with Jewish voters in mind?
Otherwise, put, not everything is about Jews.
