Tomb attack shows only Israel can protect Jerusalem holy sites: Gold

Dore Gold, director-general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, said Friday that the burning of Joseph’s Tomb by a Palestinian mob overnight is reminiscent of the actions by Islamic extremists in areas stretching from Afghanistan to Libya. He added that it shows what would happen if the holy sites in Jerusalem were administered by the Palestinians, saying that only Israel is capable of protecting the holy sites of all religions in the city.
