Jewish settlers in Hebron praise Bennett for approval

The Committee of the Jewish Community of Hebron hails the announcement, saying in a statement that it “thanks Defense Minister Naftali Bennett from the bottom of its heart for the decision to return Jewish life to the Jewish property in Hebron… an act of historic justice for which the Israeli nation has been waiting for 90 years.”

New Right MK Ayelet Shaked, the former justice minister, also commends the decision by Bennett, calling it “a historic and important decision.”

“As justice minister I worked for two years to free the land from a legal entanglement in which it was [stuck] for many years, and the neighborhood had waited about a year for the defense minister’s approval. Bennett’s courageous decision will boost the Jewish community and develop the city.”
