Israel Working to Safeguard Jewish Cemetery on Mount of Olives in Jerusalem
(Jerusalem Post) Udi Shaham - Keeping the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives safe is a national priority, Construction Minister Yoav Gallant, who is in charge of security at the site, said during a tour on Wednesday. "Jews have been buried here for at least 2,000 years," said Gallant. "It is important to maintain it and keep it protected." Among those who accompanied Gallant on the tour was Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
