Ben Gvir slams Israeli PM's decision to allow worshippers into Al Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to permit a similar number of worshippers into Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque as it has in previous years in the first week of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

According to Ben Gvir, the decision "shows that Prime Minister Netanyahu and the small cabinet think that nothing happened on 7 October.

"This decision endangers the citizens of Israel and may allow an image of victory for Hamas," he added.

Netanyahu said the decision will apply for the first week of Ramadan, with a security review to be conducted every week.
