[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kXpmS3z7JOgs/en/red-heifer-birth-in-galilee-raises-palestinian-fears-over-al-aqsa?t=5) In mid-June, the Temple Institute announced the birth of a flawless, completely red heifer in the Galilee, making it a potential candidate for a rare Jewish ritual.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kXpmS3z7JOgs/en/red-heifer-birth-in-galilee-raises-palestinian-fears-over-al-aqsa?t=67) The Institute considers the timing of this birth meeting strict biblical requirements, coinciding with the difficult war Israel ignited in Lebanon, to represent a miraculous divine sign, thereby blessing further settler violence and offering a God-like narrative to lift up morals,

Palestinians have warned for decades that the Judaization of Al-Quds and growing settlers' Temple movement around Al-Aqsa risk culminating in the destruction of the Mosque, even more so in a context marked by absolute impunity,
