elad is short for the city of david.is an organisation whose stated mission is to strengthen the jewish connection tojerusalem. when i came here and spoke with both local residents, arab and jewish, and other people here, i realise that this was the site of king david — he is known by different names in hebrew, english and islam — and that this is an incredible opportunity for 4 billion people around the world to connect the original site of the city of david. when i heard that story i left my own career in high—tech and have dedicated my life to this area. to the millions who have visited the city of david, elad presents itself as an archaeological organisation focused on telling the story of ancientjerusalem. the city of david is the actual underground city ofjerusalem. and our mission is to really reveal that and bring that to be explored by the world and experience by the world. did you know that 3,000 years ago, the same view we're seeing right now was seen by king david himself? he could get up every morning with h

we asked elad if they had any pa rt since. we asked elad if they had any part to play in this case.egal case of the home is being carried out by... , it is obviously willingly interest to us because it is directly located within a few feet of our visitor centre. but since that interview, bbc news arabic has obtained new evidence which suggests elad has more thanjust evidence which suggests elad has more than just an interest. another 2020, they submitted a letter to court that the founder of elad sent them back in 1991. he listed various land plots in silwan including that of the house and writes that... asked by the bbc whether they were still funding the case, elad did not respond. and neither did... . 0ver over the years, the total number of visitors to a lad's city of david has increased dramatically, and some never left. there has also been a gradual but steady growth in the number ofjewish gradual but steady growth in the number of jewish settlers who gradual but steady growth in the number ofjewish settlers who have been settled by elad in silwan. all this growth has cost a l

elad's strategy seems to be working.silwan has become the city of david. as elad has established itself, israeli government support and income from ticket sales has risen, and donations from abramovich were overtaken by donations from us—based friends of ir david in 2011. oh my, golly! i can think of no better place than the city of david to express that the united states knows what the jewish people have known for 3000 years, thatjerusalem is the historic capital of israel. the trump administration's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel exacerbated widespread protests in gaza and beyond. 58 palestinians were reported killed by israeli forces and over 2000 injured on the day of the embassy opening alone. us ambassador to israel, david friedman, is a strong supporter of israeli settlements. he has taken part in an opening ceremony at the city of david. and in 2021, president trump announced his peace plan brokered by his son—in—law. it named many of elad's sites as historical or spiritual places in need of pr

has elad or mr abramovich commented on the fact that they work together?ramovich is generous and committed donor to israeli and jewish civil society, although elad said they abided by the israeli rules and regulations and revealed the source of their findings to the authorities —— their funding. they say also, they announced in the city, there's a different name for that neighbourhood we are talking about. they said they are naming the donors who want to be revealed, but those donors who don't want to show their names, they are not announcing their name. inc. you very much indeed. bbc .com/ news is where to go. every year in the arctic, sea—ice expands during winter, and melts back in the summer. this year, it's shrunk to a near record low. the bbc's science correspondent jonathan amos says, "not quite 2012's record, but only the second time under 4 million in the satellite record." the 4 million he's referring to is the number of square kilometres of sea ice in the summer. it was down to 3.74 million this year. scientists studying the sea—ice in the arcti
