The secretariat of Haresha has welcomed the publication of the legal opinion that is authorizing the access road to the the Binyamin region Jewish community. A statement by the secretariat said, "We thank and greatly appreciate all those who help us to advance the settlement of this good mountain and hope that the road is now paved for massive construction and expansion of the community."
The statement continued, "The days of Hanukkah are the appropriate days to recall the simple truth expressed by Shimon the Hasmonean: 'We did not take foreign land or the property of foreigners, but rather the property of our forefathers, which sometimes was conquered at the hands of our enemies without trial. And when we had the time, we brought back our inheritance.'"
