The Argentinian President, Javier Milei, concluded his visit to Israel last night by participating in provocative dances with settlers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The Israeli occupation authorities prevented worshippers from entering the holy sites to commemorate the night journey and ascension (Israa and Mi’raj).
Milei appeared in a video wearing a Jewish “kippah” while dancing with a group of settlers performing provocative Talmudic dances inside the Western Wall area after roaming the alleys of the Old City of Jerusalem and the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, chanting racist slogans under the protection of the occupation forces.
Upon his arrival in Israel, Milei announced the relocation of his country’s embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem. He was also seen crying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and visited families of prisoners in Gaza, as well as a settlement in Nirim near the Gaza Strip.
Milei expressed his support for Israel, stating that his visit to the settlement was “extremely moving.”
Preventing the Commemoration of Israa and Mi’raj
Israeli occupation forces and police stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem last night to prevent worshippers from performing night prayers on the occasion of the commemoration of the Israa and Mi’raj.
According to Al Jazeera’s correspondent, hundreds of settlers roamed the streets of Jerusalem, chanting Talmudic slogans against Arabs and the residents of Jerusalem. The occupation police fired tear gas towards Palestinian youth near the Al-Aqsa Mosque to prevent them from performing prayers inside the mosque.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that the occupation forces arrested 10 Jerusalemites, including 6 girls, with four of them being minors, during the events commemorating the Israa and Mi’raj inside the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
WAFA added that worshippers continued to arrive on Thursday despite the restrictions imposed by the occupation authorities, including the erection of military checkpoints, strict inspection measures, and preventing many of them from reaching Al-Aqsa.
