The Knesset Internal Affairs Committee will meet to debate the fate of the tomb of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a figure regarded as a founder of Palestinian Arab Islamic terror, whose grave in Nesher has become a pilgrimage site. The discussion brings together government officials, security representatives, and religious leaders, with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir expected to push for the tomb's removal. While many in the Israeli public support removing the site, security officials warn that such a move could heighten tensions, and religious authorities see it as a threat to religious sentiments. Committee chair Yitzhak Kroizer will lead the debate, seeking a compromise between political demands, security concerns, and public opinion.
