From Netanyahu tells settler leaders Hebron is the heart of Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with settler leaders, telling them the Jewish community in Hebron is the heart of Israel.
“To separate between the Jewish community in Hebron and Israel is like removing the heart, and so it will never happen,” Netanyahu tells the settler leaders according to a statement from the Yesha umbrella group.
Netanyahu signed the 1998 Wye River agreement that handed most of the divided West Bank city over to the Palestinains, but kept several Jewish neighborhoods in the center of the city.
Hebron leaders invited Netanyahu to visit the city.
