However, Agamben writes "the state according to the Torah, which Jews await at the coming of the Messiah, has nothing to do with a modern nation-state, so much so that at its core lie precisely the rebuilding of the Temple and the restoration of the sacrifices, which the state of Israel does not even want to hear about" - he is incorrect. This is precisely what Israel aims at. They already reinstated Sanhedrin, attempt to reestablish animal sacrifice, slowly are annexing Al Aqsa compounds in order to blow it up and build the Third Temple. That was the reason why October 7 happened. I am not sure why there is no information about it in the West. Israel today is a de-facto theocracy. Soldiers pray before they kill.
