Picture of the week: Doves for Shalit
December 16, 2009 - 3:54 PM by Nicky
We’re all watching and waiting. The reports that have been coming out in the press of an imminent release are just adding to the pressure. It’s been three and a half years since Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Palestinian militants. When is he finally coming home?
Today Nir Barkat, the Mayor of Jerusalem got together with Jewish and Arab children to release hundreds of doves in support of Shalit at Jaffa Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem.
The event was timed to coincide with the opening of the Israeli Doves Exhibition, which takes place at Alrov Mamila in Jerusalem during Hannukah, and features more than 300 doves of different species.
Let’s hope Shalit comes home soon.
