Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited and prayed at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site on Sunday, the al-Aqsa compound, triggering a wave of regional condemnation and sparking fears of further escalations in tensions.
The provocative move came as Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip continue, with at least 33 Palestinians killed on Sunday en route to aid distribution points, as global criticisms mount over Israel's manufacturing of famine-like conditions in the besieged enclave.
