History

Historical Context

Ariel Sharon’s 28 September 2000 visit to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount triggered the Second Intifada, during which Israeli forces killed 47 Palestinians in the first five days. Decades later, MK Yitzhak Kroizer and Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir repeat Sharon’s declaration of Israeli sovereignty over the site, showing how the 2000 unrest still shapes Jerusalem’s political rhetoric.
