| Ben-Gvir visiting Al-Aqsa on 13 August. |
Israeli racist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Tuesday, Aug 13, dismissed far-right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence that Jewish prayer on the Al-Aqsa-Temple Mount remains prohibited, repeating that it was his policy to allow the practice and eliciting outrage from Arab leaders as well as members of his own coalition.
However, Tuesday’s prayers were far more explicit, with numerous men flattening themselves on the ground, and loud calls of “Shema Yisrael” heard in videos from the scene, in violation of police instructions.
