The Palestinian Authority’s (PA) “endowments and religious affairs ministry” is warning of the gravity of the situation at the "Ibrahimi Mosque" (the Arabic name for the Cave of the Patriarchs -ed.) in Hevron, after tents were set up nearby in preparation for a visit to the city by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu, along with President Reuven Rivlin and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, are scheduled to visit Hevron on Wednesday for a state ceremony to pay tribute to the 1929 riots in which Arabs murdered 67 Jews in the biblical city, decimating the ancient Jewish community of Hevron.
