MK Betzalel Smotrich (Yamina) has welcomed the decision of the Civil Administration to go ahead with making the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron disabled-friendly.

"It's wonderful news that the disabled will soon be able to access the Cave of the Patriarchs," he said. "It's just a shame that it took us so long to get to this point. Now, we're just waiting for the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister to open the Hebron market area that has been unjustly closed for so long. A historic wrong of 90 years should be corrected as soon as possible."
