An Israeli minister said Ben Gvir is threatening Israel's efforts to build an anti-Iran alliance with Muslim nations
Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir sparked a backlash on Monday by saying that he wanted to build a synagogue on the Al-Asqa Mosque compound in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem.
Al-Aqsa, known to the Israelis as Temple Mount, is one of the holiest sites of Islam. “If I could do what I wanted, a synagogue would also be established on the Temple Mount,” Ben Gvir told Israel’s Army Radio. “If I were to say that Muslims are not allowed to pray, you would kill me.”
Under the decades-old status quo at al-Aqsa, non-Muslims can visit the site but cannot pray there. Over the past two months, Ben Gvir made three provocative visits to al-Aqsa and declared Jewish prayer was allowed, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to issue statements saying the status quo hasn’t changed.
Members of Netanyahu’s coalition government also denounced Ben Gvir’s actions, including Interior Minister Moshe Arbel , a member of the Haredi Shas party. He said Ben Gvir could hurt Israel’s efforts to build an anti-Iran alliance with Muslim nations.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu must promptly rein in Mr Ben Gvir regarding his Temple Mount statements this morning. His reckless words jeopardize Israel’s strategic alliances with Muslim nations, which form a crucial coalition against the Iranian axis of evil. His lack of judgment could have bloody consequences,” Arbel said.
