The 31-year-old blogger entered the Grand Mosque of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and posed for photos and video with fellow-worshippers, reported BBC.

“People of Saudi Arabia would stand with the Jewish nation side by side,” he wrote in a Facebook post with a photo of him performing the Saudi sword dance in a traditional ankle-length garment known as a “thobe”.

“Peace in the Middle East with respect and love towards each other,” another post stated.

Under Saudi law, non-Muslims are prohibited from entering Madina’s Nabawi Square.

In an interview with Times of Israel, Tzion said visiting Muslim countries was “a hobby” and reiterated his “respect for other cultures and faiths”.

“The scholars are in prisons and the Zionists are at the Prophet’s Mosque. It is a sad thing,” said one Twitter user in Arabic.

“In the era of Al Saud [the Saudi royal family], the occupying Zionists, the enemies of Islam and Muslims… defile the mosque of the seal of the Prophet,” said another.

Another user tweeted: “The current hashtag: A Zionist at the Prophet’s Mosque; the next hashtag: A Zionist on the pulpit of the Prophet’s Mosque; and the following hashtag: A Zionist is the imam of the Mecca Mosque.”
