Ynetnews reports on a meeting between the “ultra-Orthodox” mayor of Jerusalem, and the openly gay mayor of Paris. And I could swear Ynet is having a bit of fun with this story.
During the month where the city of Jerusalem was up in flames on the issue of the gay pride parade, it was the ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski who gave a warm embrace to Bertrand DelanoÎ, the openly gay mayor of it’s sister city Paris .
In a conversation with Ynet, the city’s spokesman Gidi Schmerling refused to discuss the matter and said that the two have been in good working conditions for several years.
During the meeting, the two discussed joint projects, erection of matching monuments and the light-rail project which is being conducted by French companies. The Parisian mayor told Lupolianski that he always gets excited when he visits Jerusalem which is a city with special characteristics which do not exist in any other places in the world.
