Controversy Erupts as Israel Considers Relocating Ancient Christian Mosaic near Armageddon

Israeli officials are considering uprooting an ancient Christian mosaic, which bears an early reference to Jesus as God, and loaning it to the Museum of the Bible in Washington. The proposed move has sparked controversy among archaeologists, who argue that the mosaic should remain in its original location near the site of Armageddon. Critics of the museum claim it promotes a right-wing Christian nationalist agenda. The Israel Antiquities Authority will decide on the move in the coming weeks, while the museum states that the decision will be made solely by the IAA.
