US President-elect Donald Trump's choice for the next United States defence secretary has called for the building of a third Jewish temple on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Pete Hegseth, a former TV show host, was picked by the incoming president for the role following his election victory earlier this month.
Hegseth has previously touted his avowedly pro-Israel credentials, which derive in part from his fundamentalist Christian beliefs.
