Knesset Members of the Likud paid what they called a "solidarity visit" to Ir David - the City of David - today. The area is a formerly Jewish neighborhood to the east and below the Old City of Jerusalem in which currently live 27 Jewish families. For some of the MKs, it was their first visit ever to see the historic City of David as it has been unearthed by archaeologists.
MK Gideon Saar told Arutz-7's Kobi Sela during the tour, "There is no chance that a place like Ir David would ever be given away… Jerusalem is first and foremost here, David's city. When you walk here and see our roots, and the dramatic Jewish renewal here - half or more of this neighborhood is already Jewish! - then you can really understand our bonds with this city."
