Ben Gvir Visits Al-Aqsa Compound

The visit by the far-right minister has reignited tensions in the region, with Jordan and other Arab nations denouncing the move as a provocative violation of the site's status quo.

Ben Gvir's actions come as other members of the Israeli cabinet call for intensified military operations in neighboring Lebanon.

The Al-Aqsa compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, remains one of the most sensitive sites in the Middle East conflict.

Critics argue that such high-profile visits are designed to appease radical domestic constituencies at the risk of broader regional stability.
