UNESCO plans to vote on listing the city of Jericho as a World Heritage site, following its nomination by the Palestinian Authority. Located on Palestinian territories, remains uncovered at a site near modern Jericho date back to the Neolithic age. The proposal has sparked anger in Israel, which quit the UN body in 2019, accusing it of anti-Israel bias.
Elsewhere, it's been nearly three months since a devastating earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, killing more than 50,000 people. The ripple effects of the quake are still being felt, including by cancer patients in Syria. Before the disaster, Syrians in the province of Idlib could cross the border into Turkey in search of better treatment. But now, with the frontier closed, that's no longer possible.
In Israel, visits to Eviatar have been officially banned by the military since it was evacuated by the previous government in 2021. But this week, several cabinet ministers led thousands on a march to the settlement outpost, signalling that Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government is intent on speeding up settlement building on occupied lands, despite international opposition. The march came amid soaring tensions following last week's police raid on Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, and after Israeli air strikes targeted areas in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria, from where rockets had been launched by Palestinian militants.
Is it a Trump-like move? We listen to Biden and ask how much his words move the dial in an Israel torn apart over what the opposition calls a judicial coup. For now, the reform is on hold while the president brokers mediation talks. The opposition is suspicious.
The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, currently taking place, is not only a time of spirituality but also the season for new TV series to debut across the Arab world. This industry is worth tens of millions of dollars in Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon alone, and in recent years, producers have increasingly crossed social and political boundaries. To discuss this phenomenon, we're joined by France 24 Arabic channel's Thameen Al-Kheetan.
We ask about Netanyahu, himself on trial for corruption, who prefers a deal with a far-right that is all too happy to stoke tensions with Palestinians rather than to bend. A sizeable number of Israelis still voted for him recently despite his baggage. Why? What support both domestically and abroad?
At least 70 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and 13 Israelis have died in attacks since the start of 2023. Asked if a third Intifada is under way, former Mossad chief Yatom said: "I don't think that anyone can answer precisely," but insisted Israel will continue to fight terrorism "without any limitation" and make sure its "people will be safe wherever they go, including the West Bank".
However, what's different this time is that the Israeli response has come not from the Israeli Defense Forces, but from Israeli civilians – settlers in the West Bank who took it upon themselves to seek revenge for the murder of two of their own by heading to a Palestinian village to torch homes and cars.
