Israeli gun shops are seeing a surge in demand, according to the Financial Times. Long lines are keeping stores open late, with one doing business on the Jewish Sabbath.

AdvertisementAdvertisementLast week, Israel's right-wing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir loosened Israel's previously tight restrictions on gun permits, allowing thousands more Israelis to purchase firearms in the aftermath of the attacks. The changes automatically qualify residents of Sderot, Israel, the city that was attacked by Hamas, to buy a firearm, Ben-Gvir said.

The Old City of Jerusalem and its walls were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981, but UNESCO doesn't list it under Israel or Palestine. Whereas other sites are listed by country, UNESCO lists the site separately, under "Jerusalem (Site proposed by Jordan)." Source: Screenshot from UNESCOIsrael, which joined UNESCO in 1949, has nine sites named to the list, including Masada, the Old City of Acre and the "White City" of Tel Aviv. A backdrop of political alliancesUNESCO's decision to add Tell es-Sultan/Jericho to its World Heritage Site has angered Israeli officials, with Israel's foreign ministry releasing a statement Sunday calling it a "cynical" ploy by the Palestinians to politicize UNESCO. Kyiv's Saint Sophia Cathedral is now on UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger.

Tourists gaze down at the ruins of Masada, an ancient mountaintop fortress in Israel, during the author’s tour of the Middle East. We were a group of 10 strangers on a two-week tour of the Middle East last year, and our social dynamic was, it’s fair to say, a bit rocky from the start. While the tour was fascinating, focusing on the ancient history of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, one guest interrupted frequently, criticizing the guides and the itinerary. “Why did you bring us here?” she asked on the streets of downtown Amman.
