"💥With Israel on the brink of an attack by Iran and Hezbollah and world leaders all but begging for de-escalation, Itamar Ben Gvir—under the indulgent eye of PM Netanyahu— tramples over the status quo and deliberately sabotages the hostage release deal."

Archivist Notes On This Video

Ben Gvir explicitly states his policy is to change the status quo and make it so Jews can pray within the compound of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the fact that Jewish law itself prohibits such actions: https://x.com/dancohen3000/status/1798414118052930017

This marks the third consecutive month in which he has engaged in these provocations (May 22, June 5, July 18, August 13), which have incited 2,250 settlers to participate in the desecration of the holy site.

This was done to purportedly commemorate Tisha B'av, held to mark 'the destruction of the Temple'. In reality the mass incursions are a mobilisation to assert Zionist sovereignty over Al-Aqsa and project Israeli supremacy, as the settlers held Israeli flags and chanted the national anthem.
