IQNA – A wave of condemnation swept across the Arab world on Monday after the Israeli regime’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir forced his way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

A wave of condemnation swept across the Arab world on Monday after the Israeli regime’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir forced his way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

 

The reactions have come after the Islamic Awqaf (Endowments) Directorate in Jerusalem al-Quds said that Ben-Gvir entered the mosque compound through the Moroccan Gate and toured its courtyards.

Qatar's Foreign Ministry condemned the move as "a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a provocation to Muslims around the world."

It reaffirmed its rejection of attempts to alter the status of the site and called on the international community to confront repeated Israeli violations in al-Quds.

Jordan has also condemned the storming, calling it an unacceptable provocation and a violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Jordan's Foreign Ministry accused Israel of seeking to impose a temporal and spatial division at the site.

Palestine's Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs described the incident as a "blatant assault," noting it came while Israeli authorities continue to bar Muslim worshippers from entering.

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas said Ben-Gvir's latest move reflected Israel's determination to impose a policy of Judaization and full control over the mosque compound.

Abdul Rahman Shadid, a leader in Hamas, stated the storming represented "the most dangerous organized occupation policy" against the site.

The Israeli regime’s authorities have kept Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre closed for the 38th consecutive day, citing the "state of emergency" declared since the start of the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran on February 28.
