Israel to assume municipal powers in Hebron to build structure at Tomb of the Patriarchs
The Israeli government plans to take over municipal powers from the Hebron City Hall to construct a shade structure at the Tomb of the Patriarchs, a site revered by both Jews and Muslims, according to a report in Haaretz. The move follows a warning from the head of Israel's Coordination Administration in Hebron to the city's governor. The action pertains to the H2 area of Hebron, which is under Israeli security control and contains the holy site, effectively overriding the Palestinian municipality's authority in this matter.
