Israeli Minister Faces Backlash Over Temple Mount Comments

News summary

Saudi Arabia has rebuked Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for his provocative remarks about allowing Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount, urging respect for the site's historical status. Ben Gvir's insistence on equal rights for Jewish worshippers at the Temple Mount, coupled with his support for establishing a synagogue there, has faced backlash from various Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who labeled his statements as dangerous and irresponsible. Netanyahu reaffirmed that there is no change to the existing status quo, which restricts Jewish prayer at the site. Critics, including members of Ben Gvir's own coalition, warn that his actions could jeopardize Israel's relations with Muslim countries and incite violence. In contrast, Ben Gvir dismissed concerns, claiming his stance aligns with Israeli law and accusing opponents of being too lenient on security threats. The ongoing tensions reflect deep-seated religious and political sensitivities surrounding the Temple Mount, a focal point of conflict in the region.
