In the face of far-left, Arab and Muslim opposition, the New York Mets decided to honor its commitment to the Hebron Fund.

Shortly after the venue for the Hebron Fund dinner in support of the Jews of Hevron was publicized, eleven organizations sent a letter to the Mets management calling upon them to disallow the event at Citi Field. Signatories included organizations from Israel, the US and the Palestinian Authority, some of which oppose Israeli sovereignty altogether and others which oppose any Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.

The news of the Mets' decision was greeted by both Jewish organizations and individuals with expressions of great admiration.
