Not that it matters at all in terms of that picture, but technically it isn't really considered a mosque, although it's often mistaken for one. It's pretty much a unique building in Islamic history in terms of its antiquity, architecture, function, and significance, and is therefore difficult to categorize, but is maybe best described as a commemorative shrine.
Technically yes but it is a mosque in practical terms.Not that it matters at all in terms of that picture, but technically it isn't really considered a mosque, although it's often mistaken for one.

Reform dead in the water. Majority to stop it.
Hopefully this won't be enough for the protesters. Attempting to orchestrate the judicial coup should be disqualifying for Bibi's government.
Same sameWow. I’m not getting my hopes up yet but wow.
This has definitely developed tonight from stopping the judicial changes to getting rid of the dictator wannabe.
Wow. I’m not getting my hopes up yet but wow.
It's all getting a bit "dictators last stand" over there.
I'm just waiting for events to unfold as well. But the sooner that POS is out of business, the better a lot of people will feel. Netanyahu should have been brought in front of a judge for all of the corruption charges a long time ago.

What hopes? This has nothing to with Palestinians. Only a few hundred brave people are protesting as part of “the block against occupation”, those are our allies. These are status quo protests. Democracy for Jews.Same same

This is true, and at this moment in time it may be most accurate to view these protests as acting on behalf of the status quo, with the Palestinians an afterthought (if even). But I think (and hope) it may be a formative moment on that question for at least a few Israelis capable of making the connection. Couple of videos from the last few days showing some protesters explicitly calling for equality for all, end of occupation, etc:
Well said.The anti-occupation block is so minuscule it barely registers, but to call them a joke and a means to whitewash the protests is wrong. They are doing what they can and catching hell for it from all sides.
From an analytical standpoint, the protests stem from a paradoxical, whitewashing, pinkwashing and murderous ideology. Nothing democratic about this. It is about maintaining the current flavor of apartheid, the easier flavor to sleep at night to and to defend internationally. It really is frightening how deluded the masses are in thinking they are “democratic in DNA”. This country has never seen a democratic day. From war, to military rule, to occupation and apartheid.

Interestingly, this is a prelude as to what may happen in the US if Trump ever becomes President again. The parallels are pretty interesting - both under legal scrutiny - one "reforming the judiciary" the other promoting to "destroy the deep state" if reelected.

Still no word from Netanyahu, Smotrich is denying that he has approved a delay, and he and ben Gvir calling on their people to join a planned counter-protest in Jerusalem tonight.

Arabs getting involved:
Above tweet google translated as:
“This is a critical hour! There is a real opportunity to overthrow the fascist legislation, and an opportunity to grow from the protest to a broad camp that demands equality, democracy for all and the end of the occupation! But Netanyahu has his back against the wall, he knows that patriotism is the villain's last refuge. We will not allow him to drag us into a nationalist war so that he can keep his seat!”
Polling data - exciting stuff.
- If an election was run today, the 'left' could win 61 seats WITHOUT hadash-ta'al (rendering the balad siphoning inconsequential)
- Likud and the far right would be stuck on 54, hadash-ta'al would get 5.
- Gantz (who is kinda a joke and betrayer) is blowing up huge, impossible to know if he could take the PM spot over Lapid
- Quite good news for Arab parties; hadash-ta'al couldn't blow up everything, but on contentious stuff they would matter.
- No more Shaked, Ben Gvir, or Smotrich. Time to get Bibi into jail.
- Vulnerable to palestinian terrorism. Major incidents would drive likud support over the need for 'security'
- Bad news for settlers, sadge.
But with the delay and end to the general strike, what are the chances of a new election anytime soon?
