Israeli Minister Visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, considered a provocative move, has drawn condemnation from Palestinian authorities and Hamas, leading to concerns about disrupting ceasefire talks with Hamas. The visit is seen as a threat to the delicate situation in Jerusalem, with tensions escalating over Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. Ben-Gvir's actions have sparked fears of increased confrontations and risks to regional peace and security. The visit also coincided with the Israeli parliament's rejection of a Palestinian state, further exacerbating the situation. Ben-Gvir's call to delay a hostage-ceasefire deal until the US presidential election for political advantage has raised additional concerns and challenges for negotiations.
