Israeli minister sparks anger by praying at sensitive Jerusalem holy site

Praying on the site has been breaking an arrangement for a long time that allows Jews to visit the site but not to pray.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office made a statement stating that there was no change in Israel’s policy of maintaining the status quo agreement, which allows only Muslim worship.
Jordan, the site of the site, called Ben-Gvir’s last visit to “an unacceptable provocation”.
Hamas called this “the deepening of the ongoing attackers against our Palestinian people”, while the Palestinian authority President Mahmoud Abbas said that the visit was “passing all red lines”.
The site is the most sacred place for Jews because it is the place of the two Bible temples. The third is the third most sacred place for Muslims who believe that the Prophet Muhammad went to heaven.
