Conference of Presidents Lauds Administration Condemnation of PA Denial of Jewish Rights to Western Wall
(Conference of Presidents) Leaders of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations welcomed the strong condemnation by the Obama administration of a report issued by a senior Palestinian official refuting Jewish claims to the Western Wall. "The Western Wall has been a prayer site for Jews since the destruction of the Ancient Temple in 70CE....This ongoing process of delegitimization of Israel and the ancient Jewish connection to the land is part of an ongoing campaign that damages confidence in the willingness of the PA to negotiate a solution that accepts Israel," said COP Chairman Alan Solow and Executive Vice Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein.
