Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security, has led repeated provocative incursions onto the Temple Mount.

August 28, 2024 - WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Tuesday accused National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir of “sowing chaos” and “undermining Israel’s security” in its harshest critique yet of the hardline cabinet member. The statement from State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller came after Ben Gvir’s comments earlier this week expressing support for the establishment of a synagogue on the Temple Mount, with the Otzma Yehudit party leader responding enthusiastically in the affirmative when asked during an interview if he would put a Jewish house of worship at the flashpoint holy site if he could.
