Re:
The need for an alternate road to Jerusalem
Professors for a Strong Israel
finds that the closing of the main Jerusalem highway, cutting off
the capital as a result of a forest fire,
proves again the dire need for widening the alternate road
through the Bet Horon pass -- route 443 -- and keeping it in
Israeli hands in any future accomodation.
The group demands that the Minister for the Environment
deal with rehabilitation of the forests near the approaches
to Jerusalem instead of concerning himself with
founding a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel,
a development which will bring fire to Jerusalem and to
the entire country.
