Israel will allow Jewish pilgrims to visit Joseph’s Tomb during daylight hours for the first time in about 25 years, officials said Monday, marking a significant shift in access to one of Judaism’s most sensitive and contested holy sites in the West Bank.
The decision follows an agreement between Defense Minister Israel Katz, senior military officials and political leaders, and will expand visits beyond the strictly nighttime access that has been in place since 2000.
