National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has raised concerns over potential overcrowding at the Temple Mount, warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the dangers to human life without restrictions, emphasizing that it could "endanger human life." Critics argue that Ben-Gvir's warnings are unfounded, accusing him of making false claims and attempting to create unnecessary overcrowding and tension. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed the preparation of thousands of new spaces in prisons for security prisoners, amid reports of plans to arrest thousands of Palestinians from Gaza. This move has sparked further controversy and concerns over the treatment of Palestinian inmates.

Worse. Ben Gvir is making false claims re overcrowding and crowd control at Al Aqsa. Those responsible for security say it's total bullshit. There are no such problems, nor have there been any incidents in decades. So Ben Gvir orders the police: create overcrowding. https://t.co/nugBzQNoY6
