JERUSALEM MUNICIPALITY RESPONSE TO REPORT REGARDING THE SHEPHERD HOTEL
Jerusalem Municipality Spokesperson 24 March 2010

The report is distorted and is meant to stir up a provocation during Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit in Washington.

The plan was approved in July 2009 by the local committee. Its approval was
published in the media at the time. The landowners only paid the fees on
15.3.10, and approval was granted automatically after that.
