Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered the Al-Aqsa mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem on Monday. He was accompanied by a group of Israeli settlers and protected by Israeli security forces during the visit. Video footage circulating on social media appears to show the minister performing Jewish prayers at the site.

The Al-Aqsa mosque compound is considered the third-holiest site in Islam. The presence of Israeli officials and settlers at the location is a frequent point of tension, as the site is also revered by Jews as the Temple Mount. The visit has drawn attention due to the minister's political background and the sensitive status of the compound.
