Ahead of Likud's internal elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formed a special team to recruit Knesset members from Gadi Eisenkot's Yisrael Beiteinu party.

2,000-Year-Old Aqueduct Supplying Temple Mount Uncovered in Jerusalem

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered a 300-meter section of a 2,000-year-old aqueduct that supplied water to the Temple Mount. The discovery was made during excavations for a new neighborhood and is attributed to the Hasmonean period. The ancient structure, an engineering marvel that used gravity to transport water over 21 kilometers, will be preserved and integrated into the neighborhood's entrance. The Israel Antiquities Authority plans to create a park along the aqueduct's route.
