Ben-Gvir Storms Al-Aqsa Compound
The provocative visit occurred under heavy security and has been labeled an 'unacceptable' act of escalation by regional leaders.
Ben-Gvir's comments regarding ownership of the compound have further inflamed tensions in occupied Jerusalem.
This incident comes just days before rare direct talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials are scheduled to begin.
Regional analysts warn that such actions could jeopardize the fragile ceasefire currently in place.
