Jordan’s Foreign Ministry slams National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s visit to the flashpoint Temple Mount site, calling it a “blatant violation of international law” and an “unacceptable provocation and escalation.”

In a statement posted on X, the ministry says Ben Gvir’s presence is a “blatant violation of the historic and legal status quo” of the holy site.

It calls on Israel to stop such actions by Ben Gvir and asserts that only Muslim prayer is permitted at the Temple Mount — the location of the Al Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock.
