Israeli forces kill at least 27 at food site while minister’s al-Aqsa visit causes outrage
Guardian5 days
Ben-Gvir's prayer at Al-Aqsa shatters decades of sacred understanding, trampling Muslim hearts while hostages languish in tunnels. This convicted extremist transforms Judaism's holiest mourning day into a calculated provocation, inflaming a region that is already bleeding. As Gaza starves and Jerusalem burns, his reckless ambition prioritizes political theater over human lives, making peace even less likely.
The so-called "status quo" became a hollow myth after Palestinians built four additional mosques while systematically erasing Jewish history. For fifty-seven years, Jews have been denied their fundamental right to pray at Judaism's holiest site. Ben-Gvir simply acknowledged reality: religious freedom belongs to everyone, including Jews mourning their destroyed Temples on their most sacred ground.
There is a 10% chance the Gaza war will end and significant progress be made towards a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict before Jan. 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
