Iraq denounces Isreal’s illegal possession of Iraqi Torah

N11

(IraqiNews.com) The Iraqi government protested strongly at the appearance of a missing manuscript of Torah in Tel Aviv, asserting it will take legal actions against Israel, especially with the United States’ procrastination in cooperating with Iraq to retrieve the manuscript, the deputy of the Iraqi Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities Qais Jabbar stated Monday.

The ministry has urged the U.S. to help retrieve the manuscript from Israel and called on the NARA which renovates Iraq’s Hebrew archive to clarify the destiny of the manuscript, denouncing Israel’s illegal possession of it.

“We strongly protest against Israeli illegal holding of part of our heritage and call on the NARA which renovates Iraq’s Hebrew archive to clarify the destiny of the manuscript,” the ministry said in a statement yesterday.
