Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev praised the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court's decision to issue a closure order for the Barbur Gallery.
Minister Regev said, "In a civilized country such as ours, there is no room for lawbreakers and squatters to illegally build on municipality land. The Barbur Gallery has given a stage to the haters of our values and symbols, and it is time to sing goodbye to the gallery."
