Unusual visit to Nablus: Finance Minister Smotrich prayed at Joseph's Tomb
In an unusual and security-sensitive move, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich arrived this morning (Wednesday) for Shacharit prayers at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus. According to reports published by Michael Shemesh and Dafna Liel, this is the first visit of its kind by a government minister to this site in many years.
The visit took place under a particularly heavy security umbrella, as required by the complex location in the heart of the city of Nablus. Michael Shemesh noted that this is an unusual event in the current period. Dafna Liel also confirmed the details and reported on the event, emphasizing its rarity due to the long period in which no ministerial visits to the site have been recorded.
News in Real Time on Telegram - Israel's largest news group relayed Shemesh's original report, which highlights the symbolic importance of the prayer at the site, especially in light of the ongoing security tension in the Judea and Samaria sector.
