Ben Gvir calls for preventing Palestinian access to Al-Aqsa and an Israeli warning of a “powder keg”. The Israeli army and the Shin Bet security service warned of the consequences of a possible decision to prevent Palestinians from the West Bank from entering Al- aqsa Mosque.

An Israeli security official described this policy as a powder keg. Yesterday, about 25,000 Palestinians performed Friday prayers in Al-a-Qsa Mosque, the largest number of worshipers the mosque has witnessed since the beginning of the war.
