Joseph's Tomb Arson Demonstrates Fate of Holy Sites in Palestinian Hands
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Responding to the Palestinian attack on Joseph's Tomb on Thursday night, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director-General Dore Gold said: "The Palestinian attack on Joseph's Tomb reminds us of the actions of the most extreme Islamist elements, from Afghanistan to Libya. Israel condemns in the strongest terms the attack, perpetrated just because it is a place in which Jews pray. The Joseph's Tomb arson demonstrates clearly what would happen if the holy sites in Jerusalem were in the hands of the Palestinian leadership. Only Israel can protect the sites holy for all religions in Jerusalem."
