Israel's right-wing leader Itamar Ben Gvir along with hundreds of Israelis prayed at the disputed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Tuesday. Ben Gvir's move has angered European countries as well as other countries. This incident has happened at a time when there is a fear of attack on Israel by Iran and Lebanon after the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.

In fact, Jews are prohibited from praying in the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex. This is the reason why Ben Gvir's prayer in Al-Aqsa has caused international controversy. His action has increased the possibility of war.

Ben entered the mosque premises singing Jewish hymns

Ben Gvir and 2,250 Israelis entered the mosque complex on Tuesday singing Jewish hymns, accompanied by a large number of Israeli police, according to an official of the Jordanian Waqf, the guardian of Al-Aqsa, reported news agency AFP.

Ben Gvir was running a Judaization campaign

The guardian of Al-Aqsa said, "Minister Ben Gvir was running a Judaization campaign instead of maintaining the status quo in the mosque. He is trying to change the situation inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He has no right to speak on this issue." He said that the Israeli police did not let the Muslim devotees trying to enter the mosque enter. During this time, Ben Gvir's supporters also made videos inside the mosque.

We must bring Hamas to its knees - Ben Gvir

Ben Gvir has released a video on the social media platform X. He vowed to win the war against Hamas in Gaza. He said that Israel should not go to the peace talks taking place in Doha or Cairo. He said that we can defeat Hamas. We have to bring them to their knees.

Countries around the world objected

Ben Gvir's action has increased the possibility of further intensification of attacks in the war. Countries around the world have objected to praying in the Al Aqsa Mosque. This includes the US and Arab countries as well as Western countries.

Stop such incidents from happening: Netanyahu- America

The European Union said it was a provocation and condemned it, calling it a violation of the status quo. France and the United Nations also called this act unnecessarily provocative. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Ben Gvir has violated the status quo at Al Aqsa and Blinken has appealed to PM Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent such incidents from happening. Such incidents will only increase tensions.
