Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refuted National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's claims that Jewish people can pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem.
A decades long agreement stipulates that only Muslims are permitted to pray at the holy site.
“Israel’s policy of maintaining the status-quo on the Temple Mount has not changed and will not change,” the Prime Minister's office said in a statement on X.
