An Israeli Man's Selfies Inside The Holy Holy Mosque Of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Sparked Outrage In Arabian Countries

An Israeli man faced the ire of social media after he posted selfies captured inside the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mosque in Medina (Masjid e Nabwi). Russian born Ben Tzion holds a history of uploading images on social media handles, captured at religious location across the Middle Esat from Iran to Jordan. Image of him inside Masjid e Nabwi was posted on his Facebook page with caption raising the eyebrows of social media buffs. "People of Saudi Arabia would stand with Jewish Nation sideby side. Peace in the Middle East with respect and love toward each other" he said in his post.

While non-Muslims are banned to enter both Holy cities of Makka and Medina then how a Zionist entered Masjid e Nabwi. Tzion says he always travelled legally and with appropriate paperwork. Though Facebook did not remove his picture but Instagram took action and deleted Tzion's account. The controversy has emerged at the time when relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia are improving on the back of similar strategic concerns regarding regarding Iran.
