The Russian-speaking group of the Geneva Initiative recently met online to discuss the history and politics surrounding the Temple Mount. The session was facilitated by Mr. Boris Krizipolsky, a Jerusalem expert and guide, who had previously led the group on a tour of the city. During the online meeting, the discussion focused on the history of the Temple Mount from antiquity to the present day, its religious significance for various communities in the region, the political dynamics surrounding it, and the struggles fueled by extremist groups. The conversation also explored potential pathways for resolution within the framework of a broader Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.
