Itamar Ben-Gvir

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, as the Al-Quds Governorate reported around 900 settlers storming the courtyards since the morning. Cairo condemned the Israeli escalation in the West Bank. The episode is drawing wide attention because of the site's religious sensitivity and ongoing tensions.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir issued a public threat against the Hamas militant responsible for the 1996 bus bombings in Israel, reportedly telling him 'I'm responsible for hell.' The remarks come amid heightened tensions over imprisoned Palestinian militants and Israel's ongoing confrontation with Hamas. The inflammatory statement is drawing attention to Ben-Gvir's hardline stance and his role in Israel's security policy.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir joined hundreds of Israelis entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City, according to Al Jazeera. The compound, a site sacred to both Muslims and Jews, has repeatedly been a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and visits by far-right Israeli politicians have drawn condemnation and fears of renewed tensions in the region.

U2 frontman Bono has criticised Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, comparing his rhetoric about Gaza to Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler, calling it "just outrageous." The remarks by the Irish rocker, long active in political and human rights causes, drew attention amid the ongoing war and debate over statements by Israeli government figures about Gaza's future.
