Ramadan

The iftar dinner celebrated cultural diversity while tackling pressing regional issues. Arab leaders called for a united front against violence and extremism.

Paterson is home to a growing Palestinian population with Palestinian flags and Arabic signage reportedly lining its streets.

Hamas appears to be able to secure de facto ceasefires for Ramadan each year and not have to ever do anything in return.

Currently, only men age 55 and older, women age 50 and older, and children up to age 12 are allowed to visit the Temple Mount.

Police said mass prayer on al-Aqsa ended on Friday afternoon with no irregular incidents, after Israel limited the number entering from the West Bank.

Unfortunately, in recent years, the month of Ramadan in Israel has become a period marked by tension. Instead of preserving the values of compassion, extremist elements exploit the month.

EMTs and paramedics have pronounced a 70-year-old male dead and are treating four patients.

This war is not about religion – it is about who truly values life. And that is a battle Israel will always fight and always win.

The police are also focused on the terrorists who were released to neighborhoods in east Jerusalem as part of the current hostage-prisoner exchange.

Israel Police noted that terrorists exploit Ramadan to “incite and disseminate misleading narratives about events in Jerusalem, especially in the Old City and on the Temple Mount.”

Ramadan often presents a security challenge in Jerusalem, but this may be greater this year given the ongoing seven-front war and Operation Iron Wall in the West Bank.
