PM tells Barkat to hold on Silwan evacuation plan
None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat to allot more time to trying to reach an understanding with the residents of Silwan regarding the archaeological park project.
Netanyahu clarified to Barkat that he does not intend to intervene in running the city's affairs, nor in the jurisdiction of the enforcement, building, and planning bodies. However, the prime minister asked that Barkat be considerate of the existence of figures in the world who seek to present a distorted reality in Jerusalem to the world. (Roni Sofer)
