The following is in response to the attacks against the State of Israel regarding the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Rachel's Tomb: "This is a mendacious and hypocritical campaign. The State of Israel is committed to freedom of religion for worshippers of all faiths at the holy places and thus it acts in practice.
Rachel's Tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs - the over 3,500-year old resting places of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Jewish People: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Leah and Rachel - certainly deserve preservation and rehabilitation.
The entrance plaza and path that lead to the Islamic prayer room at the Tomb of the Patriarchs are currently refurbished. Israel will similarly maintain the site used by Jews who go to the Tomb of the Patriarchs."
