Hevron Peace House Residents Allowed to Install Windows, by Hana Levi Julian (Israel National News)
Excerpts;
Jewish residents of the Peace House in Hevron will finally be allowed to install windows in their freezing cold building four days after the worst winter storm of the season came howling through the region.
Permission to immediately begin renovations of the building was announced by Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Eli Yishai (Shas) who said the decision was made after consultations with Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Last week, as the government was preparing to supply “humanitarian aid” to Palestinian Authority Arabs in Hamas terrorist-controlled Gaza, Peace House families applied for permission to install windows in the building to protect themselves from the elements.
The defense establishment rejected the request, leaving the residents to weather the fierce wind, rain and snow without windows or sufficient heating or electricity in the building.
Yishai confronted Barak over the issue during last Wednesday’s Security Cabinet meeting while the storm raged through the country…
Barak, chairman of the Labor Party, told Yishai, head of the Shas Party at the meeting that permission was denied due to “bureaucratic and legal problems” but said that he would examine the situation.
Hevron Jewish community spokesman Noam Armon on Sunday welcomed the decision to allow renovations to proceed. However, he called on the government to reverse the laws that prevent Jews from settling in Hevron. “We are still at risk of being evicted,” he warned.
