The stones of the ancient site "100% validate that the Jewish people not only belong here now, but they have belonged here for 4,000 years, since the time God said to Abraham: this is yours," said U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday reopened the Pilgrimage Road in Jerusalem, a first-century route linking the City of David to the Temple Mount.
The Pilgrimage Road, a broad stone route used during the Second Temple period, connected the Pool of Siloam, where pilgrims purified themselves in ritual baths, to Judaism’s holiest site, the Temple Mount.
Jerusalem “is forever our city,” Netanyahu declared at the ceremony in the City of David, according to a recording published by his office. “It will never be divided again, and there will be no Palestinian state.”
“Any unilateral action can be met with unilateral action,” Netanyahu added, referencing recent calls by European nations to “plant a Palestinian state committed to our destruction right here.”

Incredible event @cityofdavid w/ @IsraeliPM @SecRubio as we were first in 2000 yrs to go from pilgrimage road to Temple Mount.
This is a very important gesture. May our Lord protect Israel.
Yes. It is some amazing excavation.
Artifacts do not lie. Israel belongs to the Jews. Specifically, Jerusalem.
Hamas? Lies and Propaganda. And pure EVIL.
Very true.
The rest of the "Pool of Siloam" keyword, sorted:
I am surprised how few people read this. I think it is in the article Title.
It is not often that we see a 2,000 year event. And it relates to another step toward rebuilding the Temple.
The frequent destructions over the centuries and the rebuilding atop each layer merely served to preserve the facts in the ground.
Yes. But I am a bit disappointed in the comments. The Title may be toned down to not alarm the Jihadi’s, uncovering this makes their story line impossible.
