This marks the first time an Israeli security minister has explicitly linked Gaza sovereignty to the Temple Mount location, creating an unprecedented religious-territorial nexus. By making this declaration from Judaism's holiest site rather than a political venue, Ben-Gvir elevates the conflict from purely territorial to explicitly religious-prophetic significance, directly connecting two key prophetic locations.

📰 What Happened
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made controversial statements during his Temple Mount visit in Jerusalem on May 26, 2025, calling for complete Israeli control over Gaza. Ben-Gvir specifically demanded to 'conquer the entire Gaza Strip, declare sovereignty over all of Gaza, eliminate every Hamas member, and encourage voluntary emigration.' His statement from Judaism's holiest site adds significant religious and political weight to the territorial dispute.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Ben-Gvir's Temple Mount declaration represents a critical alignment with Zechariah's prophecies about Jerusalem becoming a 'burdensome stone' (Zech 12:3). The simultaneous focus on both Gaza and the Temple Mount creates a unique geopolitical convergence of two territories central to end-time prophecies. His call for complete sovereignty over Gaza while standing on the Temple Mount suggests an emerging pattern of Israeli territorial consolidation that matches prophetic descriptions of Jerusalem-centered conflicts. This dual-territory focus from Judaism's holiest site indicates an acceleration toward prophesied regional realignments.
