Concrete barrier removed in Jerusalem

Here is an article about the Sunday decision of Israel to take down the concrete barriers in Beit Jalla that were built during the second intifada.

The removal of the concrete barriers in Beit Jalla is very good news, but now is a dangerous time. Leaders must invest in ongoing improvement in the area.

"Home Front command officer Lt. Gen. Hezi Revivo Sunday said a decision was made to dismantle the barrier because of the greatly improved situation."

The article warns that a moment like this needs added vigilance and investment from leaders and peace-seeking citizens.
