National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's contentious remarks about building a synagogue at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound have ignited widespread condemnation, raising fears of escalating tensions.
Ben-Gvir's insistence on constructing a synagogue at the Al-Aqsa site undermines decades of established protocols, indicating a shift in the Israeli government's approach toward this highly sensitive area.
The Al-Aqsa compound, a pivotal symbol for both Islam and Palestinian identity, could face increased threats if Ben-Gvir's vision for Jewish worship there becomes a reality.
Criticism of Ben-Gvir's statements comes not only from officials and countries but also from within religious circles, highlighting the internal divisions over entering such a sacred site.
