Jordan Strongly Condemns Ben-Gvir's Storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque - Jordan News
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan strongly condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif by Israel's extremist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, under the protection of the Israeli occupation police. The ministry labeled the act as a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, describing it as an unacceptable provocation and escalation that must be stopped immediately by Israel, as the occupying power. اضافة اعلان Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Dr. Sufian Qudah affirmed the Kingdom's firm rejection and strong condemnation of the repeated and provocative incursions by Minister Ben-Gvir, and the facilitation by Israeli police of such actions. He emphasized that these incursions coincide with restrictions imposed on Muslim worshippers, which constitute a flagrant violation of the legal and historical status quo of Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif. These acts are seen as attempts to impose a temporal and spatial division of the site and a desecration of its sanctity. Ambassador Qudah stressed that such practices do not change the reality that East Jerusalem is an occupied territory, and Israel has no sovereignty over it. He further warned of the grave consequences of the continued illegal and provocative violations of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, urging Israel, as the occupying power, to immediately halt all such provocative actions by Ben-Gvir. These actions, Qudah said, are part of the extremist Israeli government's policy aimed at escalating tensions in the occupied West Bank, conducting raids on Palestinian cities, and violating the sanctity of religious sites in occupied Jerusalem. He reiterated that Al-Aqsa Mosque, in its entirety of 144 dunums, is a solely Islamic holy site, and that the Jerusalem Awqaf Department, affiliated with Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, is the sole legal authority responsible for managing and overseeing all affairs of the mosque and regulating entry to it.
