Israel’s far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visits the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and prays for “complete victory”, Israeli media reports.
The visit to the sensitive site, which is sacred to several religions, risks disrupting ongoing talks on a ceasefire in Gaza.
Both Jews and Muslims claim the area, on a hill in Jerusalem’s Old City, and visits like Ben-Gvir’s are seen as a provocation.
