Israeli Minister Ben Gvir's Prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque Sparks Controversy

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has sparked controversy by visiting and praying at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem.

This action is considered unprecedented and provocative, testing the rules governing the operation of this sensitive religious site.

According to existing rules, Jews are allowed to visit Al-Aqsa, but are not allowed to pray there. The compound is administered by a Jordanian religious foundation.
