JERUSALEM, August 6, 2005 (WAFA-PLO News Agency)- [Palestinian] Ministry of
Tourism and Antiquities affirmed Saturday that what an Israeli daily publish
regarding the uncover of the so-called King David's Palace in Jerusalem is
worthless and groundless.
.
It asserted in a press release that any uncover must be based on realties,
not baseless clandestine excavations.
.
It added that what raises doubt is that these diggings are being carried out
discreetly.
.
The press release asserted the excavations in Jerusalem, since 1967, are
being carried out to serve colonizing ambitions, adding that the timing of
the news aims at concentrating the attention of the world in the withdrawal
from Gaza to perpetuate colonization in Jerusalem.
