Provocative move attracts condemnation and raises fear that it could escalate tensions

Israeli Min Prays at Flashpoint Holy Site as Officials Say 27 Killed in Gaza

A far-right Israeli minister visited and prayed at Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site on Sunday, triggering regional condemnation and fears that the provocative move could further escalate tensions.

The visit came as hospitals in Gaza said 27 more Palestinians seeking food aid were killed by Israeli fire.

With Israel facing global criticism over famine-like conditions in the besieged strip, the visit by Itamar Ben-Gvir to the hillside compound threatened to further set back efforts by international mediators to halt Israel's nearly two-year military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
