Under Palestinian homes, US envoys hammer open an ancient East Jerusalem road
2019-07-01
Anywhere else in the world an archeological dig would be Page 3: Non-WoT stuff. But in Israel the history of the Jews in the land is denied altogether by the Palestinians and their allies — about which you can read at the link if you are so inclined, dear Reader.
[IsraelTimes] Angering PA and anti-settlement groups, David Friedman and Jason Greenblatt attend inauguration of ancient Jewish pilgrimage road excavated in Silwan neighborhood.

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and White House Mideast peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, at an inaugural ceremony on Sunday, hammered through the final wall standing in front of an archaeological tourist site that was dug under Paleostinian homes in East Jerusalem.

"Whether there was ever any doubt about the accuracy, the wisdom, the propriety of [US] President [Donald] Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, I certainly think this lays all doubts to rest," said Friedman before joining other Israeli and American bigwigs in symbolically breaking down the wall, which led to the "Pilgrimage Road," a now-subterranean stairway that was said to have served as a main artery for Jews to the Temple Mount thousands of years ago.
