Rising tensions in East Jerusalem
Situation already volatile after decision to evict several Palestinian families in a ruling favouring settlers. Now, Israeli police filmed apparently using stun grenades inside al-Aqsa mosque on Laylat al-Qadr, in videos (which I won't be posting) depicting absolute chaos. On top of this, thousands marching in protest. Other lawsuits coming. Political situation in Israel currently a far-right clown-show. Potential for escalation—whether due to incompetence or provocation—seems especially high, not least given Eid is just around the corner.
