Former Knesset Member Shuli Mualem welcomes Defense Minister Naftali Bennett's decision to build a new Jewish neighborhood in Hevron.

"Defense Minister Naftali Bennett made a historic decision that returns Jewish life to the wholesale market in Hevron, 90 years after the 1948 riots that led to its abandonment. Congratulations to former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, who led a year ago the removal of legal barriers. Hevron has always connected the people of Israel to its land. Progress from here to applying sovereignty."
