Edelstein to Take Media to Beit Aryeh



Ahead of the United Nations vote on recognition of the Palestinian Authority as a sovereign state, Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli-Yoel Edelstein is scheduled to take international media to the Samarian Jewish community of Beit Aryeh, about 20 kilometers/13 miles from the Mediterranean coast, east of Tel Aviv.
From Beit Aryeh, one can see the "thin waist" represented by the 1949 armistice line, illustrating the strategic threat of a hostile country at that location on the coastal plain, including the Gush Dan population center around Tel Aviv and Ben GurionInternational Airport.
