Ben Gvir Storms Al-Aqsa: It Belongs to ‘Israel’

By Staff, Agencies

“Israel's” so-called “national” security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds on the day a number of European countries recognized a Palestinian state, amid the ongoing “Israeli” aggression on Gaza.

Images showed Itamar Ben Gvir entering the Islamic religious site flanked by heavily armed “Israeli” forces.

In a video taken from the courtyards of the mosque, the far-right minister said the Al-Aqsa Mosque “belongs only to ‘Israel’”.

His visit came as Spain, Ireland and Norway announced their recognition of the state of Palestine, which in turn prompted “Israel” to recall its ambassadors.

“We will not allow any surrender that would even include a declaration of a Palestinian state,” Ben Gvir said.
