Israel’s far-right national security minister stormed into Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site on Thursday morning, threatening to disrupt Gaza cease fire talks.
The Palestinian WAFA news agency quoted witnesses as saying that Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed into the Jerusalem hilltop compound of al Aqsa Mosque accompanied by Israeli police.
It’s a third time for Ben-Gvir to storm into Al Aqsa after two similar encounters on July 27 2023, and May 22 2023.
The move by Itamar Ben-Gvir threatens to disrupt sensitive talks aimed at reaching a cease fire in the 9-month-old Israel-Hamas war.
