The Jewish community of Hevron has issued a statement in support of the government's decision to move forward with a plan to make the Cave of the Patriarchs disabled-friendly.
"We wish to thank the Defense Minister, Naftali Bennett, for this just decision to install an elevator at the holy site and make it accessible to everyone. We would also like to thank the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister who gave their approval, and the many Knesset members who kept the issue on the table, as well as Shai Glick and the Betsalmo organization."
