Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visits Al-Aqsa mosque compound known to Jews as Temple Mount .

Netanyahu quickly denies there will be any change to rules prohibiting Jews from praying at the site.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken blasts Ben Gvir's visit to the site as a "provocation" Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas denounces the visit as a provocation.

Benny Gantz , a centrist former general who joined Netanyahu 's government shortly after the start of the Gaza war as a gesture of unity before quitting earlier this year , said Ben-Gvir had defied the prime minister and endangered the state and should be stripped of his official powers. "You don't trust your partner and they don't trust you," he said in a statement.
