Israel seizes powers over Hebron shrine from Palestinian Authority
Israel has taken planning and construction control at a Jewish and Muslim shrine in Hebron from the Palestinian Authority, revoking a 1997 agreement that granted Palestinians oversight of the site. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the move, which affects the Tomb of the Patriarchs and Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied West Bank.
