Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, according to reports from Israeli media.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is one of the most sensitive religious sites in Jerusalem and has been a frequent source of tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.

Ben-Gvir, who leads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, has previously made controversial visits to the site. The compound houses the Al-Aqsa Mosque and is Islam's third-holiest site, while also being Judaism's holiest location.

Under longstanding arrangements, Muslims are allowed to pray at the site while Jews and other non-Muslims can visit but are prohibited from praying there. Israeli officials' visits to the compound often draw criticism from Palestinian leaders and regional governments.
