Defense Minister Yoav Galant made an important decision at the end of his term regarding the advancement of covering the Cave of the Patriarchs, a step intended to ease the experience for hundreds of thousands of visitors who frequent the holy site throughout the year. This is a significant project in terms of religion, tourism, and security.
Who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to promote the project is the head of the Kiryat Arba-Hevron Council, Israel Bramsom, who invested significant efforts and acted directly with the Minister of Defense to drive the process forward. Bramsen pushed for a solution to the issue, emphasizing the need for roofing for the benefit of visitors and to enhance the experience at the site.
Bramson responded: "We thank Minister Gallant for his listening and understanding of the essential need to promote the covering of the Cave of the Patriarchs." This is a significant project for the future of Kiryat Arba-Hevron and for all the people of Israel, and we will continue to work towards promoting the heritage and connection to this holy place.
The decision to cover the Cave of the Patriarchs is expected to bring much-needed relief to thousands of visitors, especially during the hot summer days and the rainy winter days.
