Palestine’s Abbas calls on UN to ‘suspend’ Israel as Nakba marked
Al JazeeraMAY 2023
Israel is escalating the situation in the holy land to a fever pitch as it continues its cruel raids in the West Bank and its provocative gestures at Al-Aqsa. With extremists like Ben-Gvir holding key positions of power, Palestinians face unprecedented violence. Emboldened by international silence after killing more Palestinians last year than in any other calendar year since the Second Intifada, the occupation is becoming ever more violent.
Israel does everything it can to mitigate harm when it launches preventative raids in the West Bank to stop terrorist plots. Even though the Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism, Israel maintains the status quo, as it has no interest in provoking the situation in the West Bank or Gaza. While the media focuses on Al Aqsa, terrorists continue to plan attacks on Israeli civilians.
