National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's desire to build a synagogue at the contentious Temple Mount/Aqsa Mosque site has provoked widespread condemnation and concerns over escalating regional tensions.
In a recent interview, Itamar Ben-Gvir declared, 'Yes, yes, yes!' to the possibility of constructing a temple on a site significant to both Jews and Muslims, igniting outrage.
Jordan and Egypt responded to Ben-Gvir's statements by asserting that a cease-fire is essential to prevent further escalation, indicating the gravity of his remarks in the current conflict.
Defense Secretary Yoav Gallant cautioned that challenging the long-standing status quo of the Temple Mount is not only reckless but also jeopardizes Israel's national security and international standing.
