Shuhada Street was once the old city’s thriving main thoroughfare, but has been closed to Hebron’s more than 200,000 Palestinians for years to allow a few hundred settlers free reign.
Rivlin was in Hebron to visit Jewish-only settlements in the city, including Kiryat Arba, once the home of Baruch Goldstein, the American settler who massacred 29 Palestinian men and boys in 1994.
