The controversial far-right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has visited Al Aqsa compound in Jerusalem on Tuesday, in a move that could dramatically inflame tensions in the region
Al Aqsa compound, known as Haram al Sharif in Arabic, is a large plaza in Jerusalem's old city and the third most holy site in Islam, after Medina and Mecca.
Under that sensitive status quo, only Muslims are allowed to pray inside Haram al Sharif with others permitted to visit at strict times during the day. Jewish prayer is strictly banned on the site, although there are numerous examples of that being ignored by a minority.
