Wes Streeting has spent much of the last year insisting he was not about to launch a leadership bid against Sir Keir Starmer.
That continues to be his position in public - but the health secretary's supporters have told the BBC they expect him to launch a challenge to the prime minister as soon as tomorrow.
The 43 year-old minister has made no secret of his desire to hold the top job one day, although he had previously denied he would challenge Sir Keir directly.
He is not the only high profile figure at the centre of leadership speculation - but unlike Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham he is a member of Sir Keir's cabinet
Streeting is regarded as one of Labour's best communicators, and has regularly been sent out to defend the government in the media.
His supporters believe he has the political skills and fluent style to sell the party's message more effectively than the current leader but as a figure on the right of the party he might struggle to appeal to more left-leaning colleagues.
He has become a strong advocate for decentralising the service, and an enthusiast for greater use of technology in healthcare, promising an "online hospital service" for nine conditions through the NHS app in 2027.
But he has also ruffled feathers in the sector with pledges to fire under-performing NHS managers and his willingness to describe the health service as "broken".
Meanwhile, his willingness to talk up the role of private providers in the NHS has drawn criticism from his critics on the left of the party.
He will need to use all his skills of persuasion to win over support outside his own wing of the party, as he plots a course to Downing Street.

Netflix has been sued in Texas over claims it collects data belonging to children and adults in the US state without their consent, and uses "addictive" design to keep them hooked.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the streaming giant of "spying" on citizens saying it "records and monetises billions" of pieces of information about how users behave on the platform, despite suggesting otherwise.
Every interaction on the platform became a data point revealing information about the user," his office said.
Netflix has rejected the claims and says it will challenge them in court, according to a statement shared with Reuters.
Respectfully to the great state of Texas and Attorney General Paxton, this lawsuit lacks merit and is based on inaccurate and distorted information," a Netflix spokesperson told the news agency.
Netflix takes our members' privacy seriously and complies with privacy and data protection laws everywhere we operate."
The attorney general can pursue action including penalties against those found to have engaged in such activity.
In this case, it wants the court to order Netflix to delete any data "deceptively collected from Texans", cease processing their data for targeted advertising and to turn auto-play off by default for children's profiles.
It comes as platforms face calls to disable features like auto-play and infinite scroll, over concerns they keep users unhealthily hooked on endless streams of content.

The U.S. digital asset industry is pressing Congress to move faster on crypto market structure legislation as regulatory competition intensifies globally. On April 23, 2026, the Blockchain Association, the Crypto Council for Innovation, and over 90 organizations — with total support exceeding 100 when including Stand With Crypto chapters — urged the Senate Banking Committee to advance a markup of the CLARITY Act, arguing that a federal framework is now essential for market certainty, consumer protections, and long-term U.S. competitiveness.
In a joint letter to Senate Banking Committee leaders, the coalition stated that current momentum in Washington should translate into formal legislative action. The signatories included exchanges, venture firms, infrastructure providers, advocacy groups, and digital asset firms and organizations, including Coinbase, Circle, Kraken, Andreessen Horowitz, Chainalysis, Uniswap Labs, and Ripple.
The letter noted that the committee’s work follows years of bipartisan engagement across congressional offices and federal agencies. It also argued that agency activity alone cannot provide a lasting solution for the sector. The coalition warned against a return to “regulation by enforcement,” which it said created prolonged uncertainty for builders and market participants. It added:
The industry is positioning market structure as a foundational issue rather than a narrow compliance requirement. The letter explains that a comprehensive federal framework would clarify regulatory jurisdiction, introduce disclosure standards tailored to digital assets, and establish consistent rules across all 50 states. It also outlines key priorities, including maintaining consumer rewards linked to payment stablecoins, enabling oversight by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for tokenized financial instruments, safeguarding decentralized technology developers and service providers, and enhancing disclosure and token certification processes.
For crypto firms, investors, and developers, those issues affect where products launch, how businesses scale, and whether capital remains in the U.S. or moves offshore. For policymakers, the stakes include jobs, innovation, and the country’s strategic position in digital finance.
The broader argument in the letter is that the U.S. can still set the global standard if Congress acts while bipartisan engagement remains active. The coalition said the country’s leadership in financial markets has historically depended on clear rules, strong institutions, and openness to innovation. It used that point to position market structure legislation as a decision with near-term and long-term consequences for the digital asset economy. The letter concluded:
That outlook gives the issue relevance beyond the crypto sector, because the Senate’s next move could influence how digital assets are regulated, developed, and integrated into U.S. financial markets.

Hours after reclaiming the $79,000 threshold, bitcoin tumbled well below $77,000 as the earlier enthusiasm sparked by reports that Iran had submitted a peace plan to end the Middle East war permanently dissipated. In fact, Bitstamp data show that bitcoin experienced two sharp price drops on April 27, first shortly after it tapped an intraday high of $79,490 around midnight.
After appearing to consolidate below $77,800, the top cryptocurrency briefly topped $78,000 before a sell-off saw it shed approximately $1,500 in under one hour to reach a session low of $76,567. Subsequent attempts to reverse the losses stalled shortly after it breezed past $77,000; at the time of writing, the cryptocurrency traded around $76,700.
With this price action, bitcoin’s 24-hour losses mounted, reaching 1.7%, which helped drag down its market capitalization from around $1.56 trillion observed in the early morning session to $1.54 trillion at 12:45 p.m. EDT.
While bitcoin has spent much of the last few weeks in a tight correlation with global risk assets, Monday’s slide marked a notable decoupling. The cryptocurrency’s decline appeared little more aggressive than the action in European and U.S. equities, which remained largely range-bound and flat.
This downward pressure on the top cryptocurrency stood in stark contrast to the bullish momentum in the Asia-Pacific region. Leading the charge, South Korea’s Kospi index surged to a historic milestone, breaching the 6,600 level for the first time in its history. This regional rally was not entirely uniform, however; Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index emerged as a minor outlier, paring gains to close with a marginal 0.2% retreat.
Asian stocks surged alongside bitcoin following reports that Iran submitted a proposal to the Trump administration. However, Western commentators noted that the offer avoids the critical nuclear issue. Although the administration is reportedly reviewing the document, analysts argue that because the conflict originated from disagreements over Iran’s nuclear enrichment, Washington is unlikely to accept the current terms.
Still, with Brent Crude oil prices climbing back above $100 per barrel, some observers suggest the administration may be incentivized to negotiate to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Restoring access to the strait could drive oil prices below $90, providing consumer relief and tempering global recession fears.
Meanwhile, bitcoin’s continued slide on Monday saw $110 million in long bets get liquidated, versus $59 million in shorts. Overall, the crypto economy saw $454 million in leveraged positions wiped out, with long bets accounting for $284 million of the total.

Bitcoin regained its stride Monday, bouncing back above $80,000 after early morning jitters tied to Middle East tensions. Though the top cryptocurrency dipped to a session low of $78,203 around 6:30 a.m. EDT, it surged past $80,500 by midmorning, effectively erasing its losses and reclaiming momentum from Sunday night’s rally.
Prior to that intraday dip, bitcoin had surged to a commanding $80,617, marking a fresh three-month peak. This aggressive rally pushed the asset’s total market capitalization north of the $1.6 trillion milestone—a psychological breakthrough that solidified the narrative that the industry has finally emerged from its latest “ crypto winter.”
While several factors fueled the rise, some analysts tied the initial surge to reports that the U.S. Navy would escort shipping vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. The risky move by the U.S. followed a weekend of sharp rhetoric between Washington and Tehran; the latter seized control of the vital shipping channel shortly after hostilities began.
While the blockade increased pressure on Iran, its refusal to give in to U.S. demands to reopen the strait to commercial ships has caused oil prices and inflation to rise. With the war increasingly unpopular at home, the Trump administration—eager to placate voters ahead of the midterm elections—began deploying warships to flashpoints to launch the escorts. U.S. officials revealed Monday that two American-flagged vessels had already passed through without incident.
However, reports of attacks on shipping vessels and claims by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that it repelled advancing U.S. Navy ships rattled markets. Although U.S. Central Command dismissed the Iranian version of events, the situation has clearly escalated. A fire at the Fujairah oil terminal and claims by the United Arab Emirates that it intercepted missiles launched from Iran underscored the growing danger.
For shipping companies, the latest episode suggests that unless the two belligerents reach a permanent peace agreement, normal transit through the channel will not resume. As a resolution stalls, economists say the prospects of a global recession are growing.
Following the skirmishes, oil prices rose, with Brent crude briefly reaching $115 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate jumping 3.3% to $105 per barrel. On Wall Street, the main indices were marginally lower at the time of writing after taking heavy losses earlier in the day. Bitcoin, conversely, reversed its early morning losses to bring its 24-hour gains back above 2%.
The price action saw nearly $270 million in leveraged bitcoin positions wiped out, with liquidated shorts accounting for close to $212 million. Overall, volatility across the cryptocurrency market resulted in $384 million in short bets and $170 million in long positions being liquidated.

The text released Friday blocks crypto firms from offering stablecoin yield offerings that look like bank deposits, but "bona fide" transactions are allowed.
Coming to an agreement means there's likely nothing in the way of a Senate Banking Committee hearing (known as a markup) that could finally advance the legislation another key step in its progress through the Senate, though there are a number of other negotiation points that haven't been publicly resolved.
Mark it up," Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong wrote in a posting on social media site X. His company had been at the center of the talks and potentially had the most to lose from restrictions on stablecoin rewards.
Coinbase's chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, said in a separate post that this language "preserves activity-based rewards tied to real participation on crypto platforms and networks, which is what the bank lobby said they wanted," adding that "we’re focused on getting a bill done and are satisifed that this language should not be the basis of any objection."
In its legalese, the new text reads, "No covered party shall, directly or indirectly, pay any form of interest on yield (whether in cash, tokens, or other consideration) to a restricted recipient — (A) solely in connection with the holding of such restricted recipient's payment stablecoins; or (B) on a payment stablecoin balance in a manner that is economically or functionally equivalent to the payment of interest or yield on an interest-bearing bank deposit."
This restriction does not apply to incentives "based on bona fide activities or bona fide transactions" that are different from yield generated by interest-bearing bank deposits, the text said, maintaining an approach to rewards that's similar to what financial firms offer on credit card activity. The restriction does apply to loyalty programs or similar efforts.
One individual at a crypto company said this would require digital asset firms to restructure how they offer yield, moving from a "buy and hold" system to "buy and use" to meet the transaction caveats in the text.
It's difficult to say how exactly this might work, the person said, pointing to the rulemaking provisions in the text, which direct the Treasury Department and Commodity Futures Trading Commission to launch a rulemaking within a year of the bill becoming law that lays out more clearly how and when crypto firms can offer yield.
The way the rulemaking provision is worded could give regulators latitude in how they define what crypto companies can do with yield products, said Corey Frayer, director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America. He said the wording of the rulemaking section could allow crypto firms to conduct the activities and then pay the returns back to customers. The wording in the section allows regulators to consider balance, duration and tenure as a factor in rewards calculation. Other factors that would be considered include the definition of the activity and whether some sort of incentive program is used.
Senators Alsobrooks and Tillis have been negotiating details of the text for the last few months, after a Senate Banking Committee markup on the overall Clarity Act was postponed last-minute in January. Since then, bank lobbyists and crypto insiders have been weighing in on the compromise effort, sometimes in session hosted by the White House.
The text also includes anti-evasion language.
In March, the lawmakers had said they'd struck an agreement that blocked crypto firms from offering yield that looked like deposit interest but did allow them to structure rewards programs that didn't rival banks' core products.
In a statement, Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone said the trade association "welcomes the public release of stablecoin yield language as an important step toward resolving one of the final issues standing between the Committee and a markup. We are encouraged to see this process moving forward and will continue advocating for the power of rewards to drive consumer utility, competition, and innovation across the digital asset ecosystem.

A new report from Bitget and Polymarket reveals that prediction markets are evolving into a $240 billion industry driven by retail users who are trading more frequently on everything from crypto to politics.
The data suggest growth is being driven by frequency rather than trade size. More than 82% of users traded less than $10,000 during the quarter, a sign the market remains dominated by retail participants. Instead of placing large, infrequent bets, users are engaging in smaller trades more regularly.
Prediction markets are becoming less about capital and more about consistent, repeated actions,” said Alvin Kan, Bitget Wallet's chief operating officer. “What we're seeing is a behavioral shift: The market is scaling with more taps per day, not bigger trades.”
Crypto remains the primary entry point for new users, accounting for nearly 40% of early activity. Its continuous trading and familiar price movements make it a natural starting place. But as users become more active, participation shifts toward markets tied to real-world events.
The report frames this evolution as a structural change. Prediction markets are no longer driven solely by spikes around major occurrences like elections. Instead, they are becoming continuous systems where users return regularly to track and respond to changing probabilities.
As prediction markets evolve into core financial infrastructure, distribution becomes as important as the underlying market itself,” said Elden Mirzoian, director of growth and partnerships at Polymarket. “We're seeing a shift from episodic trading to more continuous engagement.”
That shift is also changing how these markets are used. Prices increasingly reflect real-time expectations around macroeconomic trends, politics and culture, and are beginning to appear alongside traditional data sources in media and financial analysis.
Growth has accelerated quickly. Monthly trading volume has climbed from about $1.2 billion in 2025 to more than $20 billion in early 2026, while active wallets have more than tripled in six months. Industry projections cited in the report estimate the market could reach $240 billion in volume this year, with a longer-term path toward $1 trillion.
As participation increases, the focus is moving toward access and usability. Wallets are emerging as key entry points, helping users discover markets and interact with them in real time.

The new guidance says that “staff would not object if a broker-dealer were to apply a 2% haircut on proprietary positions.”
In a statement on Thursday responding to the guidance, Commissioner Hester Peirce said the use of stablecoins could allow brokers to do more.
The new FAQ marks the SEC’s latest move in being more friendly to the digital asset industry.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission introduced new guidance allowing broker-dealers to apply a "2% haircut" to proprietary positions in certain stablecoins — a move that some crypto stakeholders say helps bring digital assets closer to traditional finance.
In guidance issued on Thursday by the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets, the staff addressed a customer protection rule requiring broker-dealers to safeguard customers' assets and maintain a cushion for those assets. The new guidance says that "staff would not object if a broker-dealer were to apply a 2% haircut on proprietary positions." A haircut is typically a percentage applied to an asset when it is being used as collateral.
In a statement responding to the guidance, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said the use of stablecoins could allow brokers to do more.
Stablecoins are essential to transacting on blockchain rails," she said. "Using stablecoins will make it feasible for broker-dealers to engage in a broader range of business activities relating to tokenized securities and other crypto assets."
The new FAQ marks the SEC's latest move in being more friendly to the digital asset industry. Over the past year, the SEC has created a crypto task force covering topics ranging from custody to tokenization, embarked on "Project Crypto" to modernize its rules around crypto, and has plans to propose an innovation exemption to integrate tokenization into the capital markets.
More broadly, federal agencies are also working to implement a new law, called GENIUS, that passed last year, creating a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins.
Firms have to apply "haircuts" to assets to reflect risk, so more volatile assets get bigger haircuts. Some brokers were imposing an 100% haircut on stablecoins, according to Tonya Evans, making holding stablecoins more unaffordable. Evans is a fintech strategist and board member of the Digital Currency Group.
"A 2% haircut changes that calculus entirely by putting payment stablecoins on par with money market funds, which hold similar underlying assets like U.S. Treasuries, cash, and short-term government securities," Evans wrote in a Forbes article.
Former Avalanche COO Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo said the new SEC guidance would mean that stablecoins could be treated like money-market funds. The move "removes a major friction point," and also means stablecoins can become a larger part of traditional finance.
Lowers the barrier for deeper integration of stablecoins into traditional finance rails = better liquidity, more efficient settlement, and broader institutional on-ramp," he said in a post on X.

United States President Donald Trump has lashed out at NATO over its reluctance to join Washington’s war on Iran, and appeared to revive threats over Greenland, following a meeting with the alliance’s secretary-general.
Writing on his TruthSocial platform on Wednesday, Trump said in capitalised letters that “NATO wasn’t there when we needed them, and they won’t be there if we need them again”.
The remarks came after a two hour meeting with NATO’s Mark Rutte at the White House, a day after the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire.
Ahead of the meeting, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that member states had “turned their backs on the American people”, who fund their nations’ defence. She said Trump would have a “very frank and candid conversation” with the NATO chief and quoted the US president as saying: “They were tested, and they failed.”
The rhetoric has raised seats in the West that Trump could move to withdraw the US from the transatlantic alliance, which he has repeatedly called a “paper tiger”. Several NATO members refused to open their airspace to US military aircraft or send naval forces to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy route that Iran has effectively closed.
Trump – following his meeting with Rutte – also appeared to revive his threat to seize Greenland from NATO member Denmark – a move had roiled the alliance before he launched his war on Iran
Remember Greenland, that big, poorly run, piece of ice!!!”, he wrote.
Rutte, known in Europe as the “Trump whisperer” for his skill in maintaining a productive relationship with the US president, told the CNN broadcaster that Trump was “clearly disappointed with many NATO allies”.
Rutte said he had “very frank” and “very open” discussions with Trump during the meeting, and that while he understood the US president’s frustrations, he had pushed back against some of the broader criticism
“I was also able to point to the fact that the large majority of European nations have been helpful, with basing, with logistics, with overflights, with making sure that they live
“What the US did with Iran, they could do because so many European countries lived up to those commitments. Not all of them, and I totally understand his disappointment about that, but it is, therefore, a nuanced picture,” he added
Rutte also rejected the notion that NATO members considered the war on Iran “illegal”, arguing that there was widespread support in Europe for degrading Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. He also said that prolonged diplomacy risked a “North Korean moment” – where talks drag on until a country acquires nuclear capacity and it becomes too late to act.
The NATO chief declined to answer directly when asked multiple times if Trump had said he would leave the alliance.
NATO, which includes European countries, the US and Canada, was formed in 1949 to counter the Soviet Union and has been the cornerstone of the West’s security ever since
The alliance has only activated its mutual defence clause on one occasion, following the September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in the US
It was not clear what role Trump had expected it to play in the ⁠Middle East
The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, reported that Trump was looking at punishing some NATO members he believed were unhelpful during the conflict by moving US troops out of their countries
The plan, reported by the Wall Street Journal, would fall short of Trump’s hinted threats to pull the US out of NATO entirely – a move for which he would need the approval of the US Congress.
Rutte did not answer directly when asked about that report
“The large majority, including France, of European nations, has been doing what they committed before they will do in a case like this,” he said instead
“So Europe, as a platform of power projection for the United States, was in full play over the last six weeks

Bitcoin Price is trading at $68,500, as Trump’s April 7 Iran deadline arrives and the crypto market refuses to flinch.
The White House has held its ‘no extension’ posture, demanding Iran open the Strait of Hormuz under threat of strikes on civilian infrastructure, and markets are not pricing in catastrophe.
The S&P 500 is mirroring the same wait-and-see tension, with BTC-SPX correlation tightening into a binary: geopolitical escalation triggers a correlated dump, or Trump blinks and both assets rip higher.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $471 million in inflows over the past 24 hours – the strongest single-day figure in 30 days – suggesting institutions are not running for the exits.
On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows significant exchange outflows in the window before the deadline, consistent with whale accumulation rather than distribution. The market is not calling this a crisis. It is calling a bluff.
The mechanism here is straightforward: a US strike on Iranian infrastructure triggers an oil supply shock, energy inflation re-accelerates, the Fed’s rate-cut timeline extends, and risk assets – Bitcoin and equities both – reprice lower.
That’s the dump scenario, and it’s not subtle. The S&P 500 would absorb the inflation signal as a tightening catalyst; Bitcoin, still running elevated BTC-SPX correlation, would follow equities into a risk-off unwind.
The de-escalation path runs the opposite direction. If Trump blinks – grants an extension, accepts back-channel terms, or downgrades the threat – oil pulls back, rate-cut expectations firm up, and the path of least resistance for both BTC and SPX turns higher.
Geopolitical risk premium drains out of energy hedges and back into growth and risk assets. Bitcoin, already holding $69,000 under maximum headline pressure, would have room to accelerate toward $72,000-$75,000.
Iran’s stated counter-threat, ramping up attacks on Persian Gulf energy sites if struck – introduces tail risk that neither equities nor crypto are fully pricing.
That asymmetry is worth holding in mind. The market’s current read is ‘contained.’ History doesn’t always agree with that read in the first 48 hours of an escalation.
Bitcoin at $69,140 is sitting directly at the level that has defined the cycle’s contested zone since late 2025. Immediate support rests at $66,500 – the 50-day moving average – and a clean break below that level opens the $64,000-$65,000 range, where the 200-day MA currently sits.
That $66,500 level is load-bearing. Lose it on a geopolitical shock and the technical structure deteriorates fast.
On the upside, $72,000 is the first meaningful resistance – the ceiling from the March consolidation range. A sustained hold above $69,500 through the deadline resolution sets up a test of that level. Above $72,000, the next target is $75,000, which analysts have flagged as the make-or-break level for the broader April macro setup.
RSI is running at approximately 52 – not overbought, not oversold. The setup reads like a coiled compression, not a topping pattern.
Bull case activates on a confirmed hold above $69,500 post-deadline with ETF inflows sustaining above $300 million daily – target $75,000 within five to seven sessions.
Bear case activates on a geopolitical escalation event that breaks $66,500 on volume – in that scenario, $64,000 becomes the first support that actually matters. Until one of those conditions materializes, the $66,500 level is the only number traders need to watch.

Israeli settlers have made seven attempts to smuggle animal sacrifices into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound during this year’s Jewish Passover festival, the highest number of such incidents documented since the beginning of the Israeli occupation in 1967
The Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem Governorate said on Sunday the provocations took place while Israeli authorities kept the 144-dunum (36-acre) compound, along with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, sealed off for 40 consecutive days
However, Al-Aqsa Mosque reopened early on Thursday morning, as worshippers flocked to the Jerusalem holy site after authorities lifted the weeks-long restrictions. Israeli forces had cited a “state of emergency” and “security” measures linked to the US-Israel war on Iran for the prolonged shutdown
Capitalising on weeks of empty courtyards, far-right “Temple Mount groups” – which use the Jewish name for Al-Aqsa – launched a concerted push to perform biblical animal sacrifices inside the Muslim holy site. The governorate documented that settlers successfully reached the borders of the Old City with their sacrifices – typically a goat or a sheep – on at least two occasions before being stopped
According to Israeli media, police previously detained at least 14 Jewish worshippers on April 1 for attempting to reach the site to perform the ritual
Several of the attempts have been captured on video, with footage showing smiling activists – including, in some cases, young children – carrying baby goats in their arms or leading them through the stone alleys of the Old City, before being intercepted and questioned by armed Israeli police at various checkpoints and gates
While the detentions of the activists may appear to show Israeli authorities maintaining order, experts argue they mask a long-term strategy of encroachment on Al-Aqsa, with the eventual aim of taking it over.
Suhail Khalilieh, a political analyst and expert on Jerusalem affairs, told Al Jazeera that the push to perform sacrifices at Al-Aqsa was not a religious matter, but instead served as a “political, colonial and provocative tool
He dismissed the Israeli police’s detention of the settlers as a “theatrical play” designed to absorb local and international anger while allowing gradual changes on the ground
It is a dual-management mechanism,” Khalilieh explained, noting a dynamic role play between the state and the Temple groups. “The police intervention is limited and temporary … The state’s refusal to permanently end these phenomena is, in itself, an imposition of gradual changes on the ground that will ultimately lead to a new reality.”
Under the historical and legal status quo governing the site, non-Muslims are allowed to visit the compound during designated hours, but are strictly prohibited from praying or performing religious rituals. The Jerusalem Endowments (Waqf) and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, affiliated with Jordan, is the legal entity with exclusive jurisdiction
Attempts to normalise Jewish prayer on the site are a growing phenomenon, with backing from far-right Israeli ministers. However, they go against traditional Orthodox Jewish teaching, which bans entry to the Al-Aqsa compound.
For the Temple Mount groups, whose stated objective is the destruction of the mosque to build a Jewish temple, the sacrificial rituals are highly symbolic
It signifies a transition from the phase of waiting to actual field action,” Khalilieh said, describing the permitted settler activities as an “unofficial declaration of a new phase” aimed at gradually imposing Israeli Jewish sovereignty.
The Palestinian Authority echoed that sentiment, warning that the push for animal sacrifices represents the “peak of weaponising religious rituals as a colonial tool” to Judaise the mosque
The settler groups have also weaponised the historic 40-day closure of the mosque by launching aggressive online campaigns, heavily utilising artificial intelligence-generated images to rally their base
For instance, far-right Israeli activist Arnon Segal recently shared an AI-generated image depicting a festive scene of Jewish families and children leading sheep adorned with ribbons into the mosque compound, with the Dome of the Rock in the background. The caption read, “If we will it, it is no dream” – a famous quote by early Zionist leader Theodor Herzl
Khalilieh warned that the use of such AI-generated imagery poses a “real strategic threat”. By generating festive, less shocking depictions of the blood sacrifices, the technology psychologically and socially normalises the practice within Israeli society
