"Ben-Gvir's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is considered a violation of the status quo agreement and a desecration of its sanctity, according to Jordan's Foreign Ministry."
"The Palestinian Authority condemned the storming of the mosque compound, stating it is a blatant violation of the historical and legal status quo at the holy site."
"Ben-Gvir has stormed the mosque compound at least 16 times since taking office in 2022, reflecting a growing settler movement's desire to take over the site."
"Today, I feel like the owner here, Ben-Gvir stated, emphasizing his push for more actions regarding the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its future."
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's far-right National Security Minister, has entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for the third time this year, accompanied by settlers and protected by Israeli forces. His actions have drawn condemnation from the Palestinian Authority and Jordan's Foreign Ministry, which view the visit as a violation of the status quo and a provocation. Ben-Gvir has made multiple incursions since taking office, advocating for a Jewish synagogue at the site, which has escalated tensions surrounding the mosque's sanctity and historical status.
