Dispute about the Hebron agreement in Israel

128

Bezalel Smotrich is the finance minister of Israel. He says: The Hebron agreement is over. This agreement is almost 30 years old. It rules life in the city Hebron. Hebron is in the West Bank.

The Israeli foreign ministry disagrees with him. It says: The agreement is still valid. Only small rules changed. Israel does more work in building now. Israel handles trash and building permits now too.

The agreement splits the city in 2 parts. Israel controls a small part of the city. Jewish settlers live there. The Palestinian city government loses rights now. Many people fear new fights.

President Mahmoud Abbas warns of bad results. He wants help from other countries. The group Hamas calls for resistance. The group Peace Now criticizes the decision. It calls the step dangerous.
