Very difficult situation in Jerusalem
Israel councils want to take over the houses of Palestinian people and give them to Israeli settlers.  Not surprising, the Palestinian people protested.  There are three days of protests.  Palestinians throw stones and the Israelis fire teargas and rubber bullets.  Monday, the Israeli police storm into the Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa Temple) which is one of the holy places of Islam.  That happens before there is a special parade for Jerusalem day.  Hundreds of Israelis parade though the city – and go through the Muslim areas.  This makes everything worse.  They are celebrating when the Israelis won the seven-day war.  This will cause more trouble.
