Foreign Ministry Says Hebron Accords Remain in Force After Smotrich Claim
Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued a clarification on X saying that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich was wrong to say the Hebron Accords had been canceled. In an English-language post, the ministry stressed that “the Hebron Agreement was not canceled.”
The ministry said that, several months ago, the security cabinet approved a decision dealing only with planning and building jurisdiction for the Jewish community in Hebron and Jewish heritage sites. It said the move came after years of what it described as complete non-cooperation by the Hebron municipality on those issues.
The ministry added that beyond that limited cabinet decision, “no other changes were made.”
