On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten an interview with Ze’ev Orenstein Director of International Affairs for the City of David Foundation.

Orenstein refers to this new discovery as the ancient ‘Biblical superhighway’ as hundreds of thousands of Jews would use this path to make their way up to the Temple. He also gives his take on the haters who came out to protest yesterday’s ceremony, by saying the discovery isn’t a matter of faith, but rather a matter of “fact” linking ancient Jewish history to our presence here today.
