Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, along with 2,250 extremist Jews, raided the al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem under police protection during the Jewish day of mourning, “Tisha BeAv.” The group performed religious rituals while Palestinians were blocked from entering. The raid drew condemnation from Jordan and Egypt, both accusing Israel of violating international law and the historical status of Jerusalem. The incident has escalated tensions in the region.

The strike, called by the Ver.di union after failed wage negotiations, halted waste collection, waste-to-energy plants, and biogas facilities from March 10-14. Overflowing bins and trash piles have raised health concerns, with warnings about rat infestations and disease risks.
With the strike over, 1,300 workers resumed collection, but negotiations remain unresolved. The union demands an 8% wage increase or at least €350 more per month, while employers reject the terms. No further strikes are planned for the next 14 days.
