Benny Elon: Police Needed in Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah
Former Tourism Minister Benny Elon, the driving force behind the reclamation of the Shimon HaTzaddik/Shekih Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem, says yet more Jewish families are scheduled to move in.
“What is happening in Shimon HaTzaddik is a microcosm of the entire story of Jerusalem,” Elon told Arutz Sheva’s Benny Toker on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, another home in the neighborhood was “inherited” by a Jewish presence the Arab squatters living there left, in accordance with the eviction orders, except for one family that still defiantly remains.
