Support in Knesset to Hebraize Jerusalem Neighbourhoods

“The next time you visit Jerusalem you might not be able to walk around Mamilla, Talbiya or Holyland – but rather in the Hagoshrim, Komemiyut or Eretz HaTzvi. A new bill is aiming to refer to neighborhoods in the capital by Hebrew names only

The new bill is expected to anger the residents of Arab neighborhoods, as it will also apply to them. The Palestinian town of Abu Dis, for example, will become Kidmat Zion, while Abu Tor will turn into Givat Hananya.””
