Dentist Liza Hassouna attributes the inflated prices and shortages of materials to Israeli restrictions, forcing patients to delay treatment until infections worsen, leading to more complex and expensive procedures.

Why Jordan cannot be stripped of Al-Aqsa custodianship

Middle East Eye reported that the US and Israel are actively working to dismantle Jordan's custodianship of Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, including Al-Aqsa Mosque. This move, potentially driven by upcoming elections and a desire for "achievements," risks regional collision rather than peace, despite the Hashemite family's historical legacy of caring for holy sites.
