The government cabinet voted Sunday to approve the establishment of the Jewish community of Mevo’ot Yericho (Mevo’ot Jericho).

The vote took place after Attorney-General Dr. Avichai Mandelblit removed his objections to the resolution.

“We were like dreamers,” said the secretary of the settlement, quoting a chapter from the Book of Psalms. “It’s a historic moment.”
