Extremist Israeli Cabinet minister visits sensitive Jerusalem holy site
NBCAPR 2023
Israel continues to escalate the situation in the Holy Land as its most radical ministers stage provocative gestures at Al-Aqsa. With extremists like Ben-Gvir holding key positions of power, Palestinians face unprecedented violence. Emboldened by international silence after killing more Palestinians last year than in any other calendar year since the Second Intifada, the occupation is becoming ever more violent.
Even though the Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism, Israel maintains the status quo, as it has no interest in provoking the situation in the West Bank or Gaza. While the media focuses on Ben-Gvir's Temple Mount visits, Palestinian terrorists continue to plan attacks against Israeli civilians.
