The 1917 Balfour Declaration is widely regarded as one of the most formative and far-reaching documents in the modern history of the Middle East. It was the cornerstone of the Zionist project to transform Arab Palestine into a ‘Jewish state’. The Declaration and subsequent events changed not only the demographic map of the region but also its political, social and military configuration as well.

Celebrations were held at Al-Aqsa today as Israeli occupation forces removed their intrusive 'security' measures. Israel had setup metal detectors and advanced surveillance cameras at the doors of Al-Aqsa on 16 July 2017, a move that was rejected by Palestinians who saw this as a change to the status quo at the Islamic holy site and a step towards its Judaisation. After two weeks of protests and sit-ins, Israel reversed its decision and Palestinians returned to Al-Aqsa today. MEMO reports on the situation on the ground.

Following a deadly shootout and brief closure of the mosque, Palestinians pledge to hold Friday prayers outside the compound, condemning the installation of metal detectors at gates to the complex.
