Jordan's Foreign Ministry condemned Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's entry into Al-Aqsa Mosque as an "unacceptable provocation," according to Middle East Eye. The ministry called for international action in response to the incident.
Ben Gvir's visit to the holy site drew criticism from Jordanian officials, who view such actions as inflammatory given the mosque's religious and political significance to Palestinians and the broader region.
