Ben Gvir DEFIES Protocols, Prays on Temple Mount | Arab States FUME, Warn of ‘Dangerous Escalation’

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site.

His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions.

Critics say this violated the status quo agreement.

The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
