What’s Happening in Jerusalem Right Now?

Israeli police raided the Al-Aqsa mosque compound today as Palestinian worshippers gathered for morning prayer. At least 158 Palestinians have been injured, including journalists, medics, and the elderly. Israeli forces also arrested hundreds of Palestinians, including children. Israeli settlers are also planning to make an animal sacrifice on the Al-Aqsa compound, a holy site for Palestinian Muslims. Hosts Omar Baddar and Diana Buttu discuss this recent escalation of violence and what it means in the fuller context of Israel's military occupation. Thank you for listening to 'This is Palestine'!
