Far Right Israeli Incursion Heightens Tensions at Al Aqsa Ahead of Election Tensions at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem have reached a boiling point following the latest incursion by far right Israelis, led this time by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
The recurring spectacle is an affront to Islamic traditions and a blatant attempt to inflame passions and consolidate support for extremist politicians ahead of the October elections.
Hundreds of Israelis stormed the compound, with 16 Jewish suspects arrested overnight for allegedly damaging a nearby Muslim cemetery.
