Education Minister Naftali Bennett visited Kiryat Arba and Hevron on Tuesday. The Minister met with Kiryat Arba’s educational staff, and then toured the Cave of the Patriarchs and met with residents of Hevron’s Jewish community.
Following the visit, Bennett said that “Our enemies are attempting to hurt us, especially in Jerusalem and in Hevron. They know that the heart of the nation is there. They understand that that’s where the heritage lie; that’s where our roots are located… they will not succeed in loosening our hold. We returned to Hevron in order to remain here forever.”
