The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that one person was killed and two were seriously injured in clashes with the Israel Defense Forces overnight between Wednesday and Thursday in Nablus near the Jewish shrine of Joseph's Tomb.
The demonstrations against the judicial reform in Israel might be affecting what is happening in the territories of the Palestinian Authority. Terrorists of the Islamic Jihad organization in Jenin held a demonstration against the Palestinian Authority Sunday night in the evening hours, which was also coordinated with a demonstration that took place at the same time in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians started a protest on social media under the title "Fourth Generator" following the ongoing electricity crisis in the Gaza Strip for more than 17 years since Hamas came to power. The campaign comes against the background of the severe heat wave as the number of hours the Gaza Strip is connected to electricity has dropped to only four, compared to between six to eight hours in preceding years.
The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Lau, addressed the Prime Minister of Sweden this past Friday, Ulf Hjalmar Ed Kristersson, following the decision of the local police to allow a demonstration in front of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, in which the demonstrators planned on burn Torah scrolls and Christian Bible books. In his words, he condemned the demonstrators and called on the government to prevent the protesters from burning the holy books. As it turns out, the event never occurred, with the petitioner saying he only wanted to bring attention to the issue, not actually defile a holy book of another religion.
The Hebrew University condemned the words written by Amiram Goldblum, A Professor and Chemist emeritus at the institution, against MK Zvi Succot from the religious Zionist movement. Goldblum said that Succot is "one of the enemies of the state that needs to be exterminated and I stand with the Palestinians against this villain." The University clarified to reporters from “Makor Rishon” that "the words were said from the point of view of a private person", adding that "they do not reflect our opinion. The Hebrew University disapproves and opposes such statements."
