Minister Meir Porush ordered the expropriation of properties on Hashalshelet Street, located in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City
This decision follows a plan created after the Six-Day War in 1967.
After the Old City was liberated in 1967, the Israel Lands Authority decided to expropriate all properties in the Jewish Quarter.
These properties were handed over to the Jewish Quarter Rehabilitation and Development Company, which managed them, restored them, and transformed the area into a Jewish historical site.
However, the expropriation of Hashalshelet Street, although foreseen in the original plan, was never carried out.
In his order, Minister Porush explained: “This street has great strategic and historical importance.
We need to assert our sovereignty and take ownership of these properties.
I believe this will bring greater security for residents and visitors to the Jewish Quarter in the future.”
He emphasized that the decision is based on Government Resolution No.
60, which gives him authority over matters related to the Jewish Quarter Rehabilitation and Development Company.
Porush also instructed that the expropriation be carried out in compliance with the original plan and all applicable laws.
In closing, he wrote: “I hope we can see the biblical promise fulfilled: ‘I will rebuild Jerusalem and have compassion on her’ (Zechariah 1:16).
Blessings upon Jerusalem.”
