Israeli minister visits and prays at al-Aqsa Mosque compound

An Israeli minister named Itamar Ben-Gvir went to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. He prayed there with other Jewish people. This place is very important for both Muslims and Jews. Usually, only Muslims can pray there, but Jews can visit.

Many people are not happy about this visit. Jordan, who helps take care of the place, said it was not okay. Palestinian leaders also said it was a big problem. They think Israel is not following the rules for this holy place.

Ben-Gvir is a government minister. He said he wants Israel to control more land. He also said some things about people in Gaza. Many people do not agree with him, and some countries have punished him for his words.
