Social Equality Minister Gila Gamliel sent a letter on Thursday to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, seeking their approval of construction of an elevator in the Me'arat Hamachpela Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron, which will allow disabled people access to the site of prayer and heritage.
Minister Gamliel wrote that her ministry will be willing to bear the costs involved.
