The Co-chairman of the Land of Israel Lobby in the Knesset, MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud), said Tuesday that the Lobby's members would work toward bringing about the declaration of Israeli sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria in the course of this year.

Knesset Members from the Land of Israel Lobby toured the Har Hevron area Tuesday and got an up-close look at Jewish agriculture in Judea and Samaria.

The MKs climbed to the roof of the Har Hevron Regional Authority and took in the view, which includes the entire Be'er Sheva area. They were guided by Authority Chairman Tzviki Bar-Chai.
