Palestinian Muslims pray during the first Friday Prayer of Islamic holy month of Ramadan at the Al-Aqsa Mosque after Israeli authorities allowed.
An Israeli organisation which opposes mixed marriages between Jews and Arabs plans to help converts to Islam who have “lost their way” and thus prevent what they believe is Jewish assimilation with non-Jews in Israel.
According to a report by Sputnik News, Lehava, which many perceive to be an alt-right movement accused of incitement and even terrorism, is committed to helping women in particular go back into the fold of Judaism after marrying Israeli Arab men and converting to Islam.
