Protect a Byzantine-era Christian cemetery in the Holy Land

The City of Ashkelon has come under rocket attack from Hamas in Gaza. One consequence of this is that a decision has been made that it is only prudent to build a reinforced emergency room at Barzilai Medical Center there. But the preferred site is where a Byzantine-era Christian cemetery is located.

For that reason Israel’s Deputy Health Minister Ya’acov Litzman has taken the position that it cannot be built there and insists that an emergency room fortified against missiles and rockets from Gaza be built on a more-distant parking lot, which would take several more years to complete and cost an extra $25 to $30 million.
In response the chairman of the Israel Medical Association has sent a letter to Prime Minister (and formally Health Minister) Binyamin Netanyahu to overrule the Deputy Health Minister.

Do you have a view? If so, send an email to Prime Minister Netanyahu at PM_ENG2@pmo.gov.il and/or to the Minister of Health, Ya’akov Ne’eman at pniot@moh.health.gov.il
