A demonstration will take place Thursday afternoon at 5:30 PM at the entrance to Shechem, demanding that Jews be allowed free access to the Tomb of Joseph (Kever Yosef) in the city. The protest is being organized by Garin Shechem.
The group said in a statement that it was reacting to the government's building freeze in Judea and Samaria. "This is our clear answer to the building freeze and the intentions of the government to set up a Palestinian state," it said.
