Palestinians are gearing up for Ramadan amid heightened security in East Jerusalem, particularly around the Al Aqsa mosque. Talks for a ceasefire have stalled, and there are concerns about war and hunger in Gaza. Israeli police are deploying thousands in East Jerusalem as worshippers prepare for special night prayers. Prime Minister Netanyahu has indicated that admission to Al Aqsa will be similar to last year, after a far-right minister proposed restrictions. The ongoing offensive in Gaza has raised international alarm, with fears of famine adding to the death toll. In Gaza, where many face severe food shortages, the mood is somber, with little preparation for Ramadan festivities.
