The head of the Beit El Council Shay Alon referred to the government's decision to have the new Israel Trail pass through Judea and Samaria, saying that this was a wise and moral decision.
"We have received with satisfaction the initiative of Tourism Minister Yariv Levin, who proposed moving part of the Israel Trail here in Judea and Samaria. I am sure that travelers from Israel and abroad who arrive here will not be disappointed, They will enjoy warm hospitality, they will enjoy the history that is seen here in every stone. I invite them to visit us at the site of Jacob's famous dream, come to Judea and Samaria," said Alon.
