Sharon Seeks to Link Kiryat Arba and the Tomb of the Patriarchs
(Ha'aretz) - In the wake of the terrorist attack in Hebron, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Sunday that a window of opportunity existed to establish a "compact" zone of Jewish territorial contiguity between Kiryat Arba and the Jewish enclave in Hebron, including the Tomb of the Patriarchs, as he had first proposed in 1996. Sharon believes that the Israeli-controlled sector of the city could include some 2,000 Arabs instead of the 20,000 now living under Israeli control on the basis of the 1997 Wye accord.
