Some 2,500 Korean Christians will arrive in Israel next week for a special solidarity visit with Israelis. Their trip has been planned despite objections from their own government, which recently issued a travel advisory against visits to the Middle East. The group will take part in a march from Jerusalem to Bethlehem tomorrow night, accompanied by Tourism Minister Gideon Ezra. They will also hold large events in the Israel Museum and the Ophel Park, adjacent to Dung Gate near the Temple Mount and Western Wall.
Arutz-7's Kobi Finkler further reports that on Aug. 8-10, a "Korean Culture Week" will be held in Jerusalem. Booths will be displayed along the downtown streets with traditional Korean dress, arts, food, and music. Minister Ezra said he hopes this will encourage additional Christian groups from South Korea and elsewhere to visit Israel.
