The Palestinian Authority, with financial assistance by the European Union, has begun to house Arabs in the heart Jewish community in Hevron near the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website has learned.
A security source revealed on Sunday that in the last year and a half, the Palestinian Authority, through a body named “the council to rehabilitate the old city”, has begun to house Arabs in areas of Hevron inhabited by Jews.
“These houses, previously uninhabited, have been filled with Arabs who were 'imported' from west Hevron, Beit Kahel, and Halhoul, some of which were previously engaged in terror activity or have served time in Israeli prisons for criminal offenses,” said the source and added: “The Palestinian Authority's move is part of a clear strategy that no one denies: it is creating a separation between Kiryat Arba and Hevron.”
The source noted that “The Palestinian Authority has understood that terrorist attacks will not stop the approximately 600,000 Jews who visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron each year, and has concluded that there is a need to house hundreds of families in the eastern Casbah in order to create separation.”
