Today, we came full circle. At a special conference we held โ organized by the "Returning to Joseph" lobby by Jews United organization in the Israeli Knesset โ we pledged that the government will soon return to Joseph's Tomb in Nablus after 25 years of abandonment.
Minister and Knesset Member Ofir Sofer was a soldier who served at Joseph's Tomb in 1996. During his service at the tomb compound, terrorists launched a deadly attack, opening heavy fire on Ofir and his unit. 6 soldiers were killed, and Ofir was wounded and lost one of his eyes >
We want to clarify that a recent statement requesting H.Nasrallah to safeguard the grave of Zebulon was issued without our consent. Nasrallah wasnโt a legitimate figure for dialogue but a terrorist. We apologize for any misunderstanding and will ensure this does not happen again.
We express our sorrow and pray for the recovery of the injured in the security incident in Nablus: terrorists detonated an explosive device at the security forces while Jewish worshipers entered to pray at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.
