Far-right Israeli minister Ben-Gvir storms Al-Aqsa Mosque on Yom Kippur

Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right Israeli National Security Minister, visited Al-Aqsa Mosque on Yom Kippur, prompting condemnation from the Palestinian Authority. His actions, which included performing rituals and occurred under heavy security, are viewed as a violation of the mosque’s sanctity and as an attempt to alter the status quo, escalating tensions surrounding one of Islam’s holiest sites.
