The proclamation is signed by three of the leaders of the Chabad Hasidic community and the Sephardic community in Hebron.

In its lower part are two official seals: "Seal of the Magen Avot Yeshiva and Bei Talmud Torah for the Ashkenazi Ayat of Hebron" (in Hebrew, German and French).

At the top of the announcement is an illustration of the structure of the Cave of the Patriarchs, surrounded by the verse: "And I remembered my covenant with Jacob, and even my covenant with Isaac, and even my covenant with Abraham I will remember and the land I will remember", and under the title "And the land I will remember".
