JERUSALEM (PJV) – By Ilan Chaim
The State of Israel’s capital has just won the distinction of being the only world capital without an Olympic-size, 50-meter length swimming pool. After extended court battles, Jerusalem’s swimmers have lost their oasis of the past 59-years to real estate developers.
Contrary to the outline plan for Jerusalem, established by Keren Kayemet, the public will be deprived of its statutorily guaranteed public pool for at least four more years of construction on a high-profit housing complex.
