Israeli Knesset member Amit Halevi entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem on Sunday, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The visit has drawn criticism from pro-Palestinian accounts, which describe it as a violation of the sanctity of the holy site. Such visits by Israeli politicians to the compound are frequently condemned and heighten tensions around the contested location.
Why now: Visits by Israeli officials to the Al-Aqsa compound during religious holidays routinely spark controversy and fears of escalating Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
