Israel’s Ben-Gvir storms Al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and groups of settlers entered the Al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem to perform Talmudic rituals. The incursion triggered immediate condemnation from Qatar, Jordan, and Hamas, with the latter warning of a dangerous escalation. This development follows reports from the Jerusalem governorate that 5,209 Israelis entered the mosque compound in August, resulting in 114 Palestinian detentions and two deaths. While Israel recently reopened the mosque to worshippers following a US-Iran ceasefire, Palestinian leadership warns the current tension could spark a religious war.
