Watan<\/strong><\/em>-In a provocative move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2014wanted by the International Criminal Court\u2014published a video of himself inside a massive archaeological tunnel dug beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, stretching from Silwan to directly beneath the mosque.<\/p>\n

In the video, Netanyahu declared:\u201cJerusalem will remain the eternal capital of Israel,\u201d and pledged to push for international recognition and the relocation of foreign embassies to the city.<\/p>\n

This controversial visit coincided with the 58th anniversary of the 1967 occupation of Jerusalem, known in Israel as \u201cJerusalem Day.\u201d The day saw unprecedented settler escalation, including a large-scale raid on the mosque courtyards by more than 2,090 settlers, all under the protection of Israeli forces. The day also featured the \u201cFlag March,\u201d which included racist chants like \u201cDeath to Arabs\u201d and \u201cFlatten Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ministers Join in Escalation<\/h3>\n

The raid included participation by several Israeli ministers and Knesset members, most notably:<\/p>\n

  • \n

    Itamar Ben Gvir \u2013 Minister of National Security<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Yitzhak Wasserlauf \u2013 Minister of Negev and Galilee<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Members of the Likud, Jewish Power, and Religious Zionism parties<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Observers described Netanyahu\u2019s tunnel appearance as an attempt to impose a new Judaized reality in Jerusalem. Activists condemned the move as a direct violation of Islamic holy sites and a threat to the structural integrity of Al-Aqsa, particularly since Israeli excavations under the mosque\u2014allegedly searching for remnants of the \u201cTemple\u201d\u2014have continued for years without yielding any archaeological evidence.<\/p>\n
