A new bill introduced by Tzvi Succot and supported by dozens of coalition members seeks to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Cave of the Patriarchs compound in Hebron. The proposal would transfer the entire area, including the Hall of Isaac, to the jurisdiction of the Kiryat Arba Council and establish a dedicated management body for renovation, accessibility, and maintenance. Funding for these efforts would come directly from the Finance Ministry to the local council. The bill aims to remove longstanding restrictions and restore the site's historical and national status as an open center of prayer for the Jewish people. The Minister of Defense would oversee the law's implementation, with regulatory approval from the Knesset's Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee. The Cave of the Patriarchs is a revered site in Judaism, believed to be the burial place of the patriarchs and matriarchs, and has faced administrative and security limitations despite its significance.
