In a rare show of unity, most Israeli coalition MKs and government ministers signed a declaration on Wednesday demanding the immediate restoration of Jewish presence at Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem (Nablus), 25 years after Israel withdrew from the site.

Signatories called the tomb a national and historical asset, citing the Oslo Accords to justify a permanent return. The move comes ahead of a high-level Knesset session, where the Israel Defense Forces is expected to present an operational plan for reestablishing a Jewish presence.

“The absolute and significant alignment of all coalition members, and especially the government ministers, is true history. Tomorrow, the practical plan to restore the Jewish presence to Joseph’s Tomb will be presented, and I commit to doing all I can to see this correction realized with full cabinet and government backing,” said MK Zvi Succot of the Religious Zionism party.
