Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir visited the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, his spokesperson told AFP, as indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas were being held in Egypt on ending the Gaza war.

The visit is Ben Gvir's eleventh as minister to the area which contains Islam's third-holiest site and is Judaism's holiest place, revered as the site of the first and second Jewish temples.
