Chairman Yohai Damari of the Hevron Hills Regional Council has welcomes Tourism Minister Yariv Levin's initiative of grants for the construction of hotels in Judea and Samaria.

Noting the growth of tourism in the region, Damari said, "The grant option is an important and welcome step to reduce the gaps between Judea and Samaria and the rest of the country, and another step towards normalizing life in Judea and Samaria. I call upon the Government of Israel to take the additional step required and to exercise full sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, thereby making the region an integral and inseparable part of the State of Israel, with all its implications."
