MK Kathrin Shitrit (Likud) has praised the decision of Defense Minister Naftali Bennett (Yamina) to authorize the plan to make the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron disabled-friendly.
"I congratulate the Defense Minister on his decision, and thank the Prime Minister, and the Foreign Minister, Yisrael Katz, for their support," she said. "In recent months, I have been working via various channels to bring about the implementation of a solution for people with disabilities who wish to visit the Cave of the Patriarchs. The Prime Minister, on his recent visit to the site, stressed the importance of this place for the Jewish People, and I thank him for his assistance. The time has certainly come for everyone who wishes to be able to exercise his freedom of religion and worship at such a holy place as this."
