VOI's Josh Hasten is joined by City of David director of international affairs Ze'ev Orenstein to discuss new archaeological breakthroughs.
Orenstein details the major findings at the “Givati Parking Lot” site near Jerusalem’s Old City. He says that while the project has been thoroughly endorsed by the Mayor of Jerusalem, and other leading archaeologists, foreign NGO’s for political reasons have tried to put a spoke in the wheels of the project. He adds that today the City of David has many foreign visitors but also Israelis, particularly school-aged children and members of the IDF who arrive to explore the original historical site of the City of Jerusalem.
