Israeli government scraps the plans for a giant bridge at the Mughrabi Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. The bridge, touted as a massive investment and a source of major kickbacks from contractors to government officials, would have destroyed a major archeological park. Luckily, Arab throngs protested the required digs to salvage the archeological finds. Israeli government, indifferent to Jewish archeologists, backed away under the Muslim pressure.
