Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem and offered prayers there. The site where Ben-Gvir prayed, located in East Jerusalem, is referred to by Jews as the “Temple Mount.”

According to the existing rules, Jews are allowed to visit the site but are not permitted to pray there. Ben-Gvir shared a video of his visit on his X (formerly Twitter) account, which sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from several Islamic nations.
