Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Visit to Al-Aqsa
On Sunday, Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made headlines by visiting the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem. This site is considered one of the most sensitive in the Middle East, and his actions have sparked significant controversy. During his visit, Ben-Gvir stated that he prayed at the compound, which challenges existing rules governing access to the area.
This visit is not just a personal statement; it reflects broader tensions surrounding the Al-Aqsa mosque compound. Ben-Gvir’s actions may further escalate the already strained relations in the region. Observers worry about the implications of such visits from prominent Israeli politicians, especially those with a far-right agenda.
