Today is the first friday of the month of ramadan, and security is tight in the holy city of jerusalem. Tens of thousands of worshipers are expected to visit the alaska mosque compound during the holy month. The heightened security measures come amid the israelhamas war.

Lawmaker that israel should hold new elections. As the fighting grinds on in the gaza strip, israels war cabinet is meeting to consider a new ceasefire proposal from hamas. Its a two step plan. In the first phase, hamas would release israeli women, children, the elderly and those with Health Issues in exchange for up to 1000 palestinian prisoners. After that, both sides would agree on a date for israels withdrawal from gaza, followed by the release of the remaining hostages.
