A massive wildfire near Jerusalem has triggered a national emergency in Israel, forcing thousands to evacuate as flames and smoke advance dangerously close to the capital. Prime Minister Netanyahu warned the fire could reach Jerusalem itself, calling for immediate national action, firebreaks, and reinforcements. The blaze erupted on Memorial Day and is now one of the largest in Israeli history. Military units and rescue teams have joined the effort as highways shut down and panic spreads. Officials say hundreds remain at risk, and arson may be involved.
