Weapons Smuggling from Egypt to Gaza: What Can Egypt and Israel Do?

December 19, 2007 | Maj. Gen. (res.) Dr. Yom Tov Samia

December 2, 2007 | Nadav Shragai

Rachel’s Tomb lies on the northern outskirts of Bethlehem, about 460 meters (about 500 yards) south of the Jerusalem municipal border, and for more than 1,700 years has been identified as the tomb of the matriarch Rachel. In 2000, after hundreds of years of recognizing the site as Rachel’s Tomb, Muslims began calling it the “Bilal ibn Rabah mosque” – a claim that ignored Ottoman decrees that gave Jews the right of access to the site at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

It is critical for Israeli diplomacy to protect the Bush Letter against those who seek to replace it with a new set of Israeli-Palestinian documents.
