Jordan has condemned a visit by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Monday during celebrations marking Israel’s capture of east Jerusalem in 1967, AFP reports.
“The practices of this extremist minister and his continued incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque… do not negate the fact that east Jerusalem is an occupied city over which Israel has no sovereignty,” said a statement from the foreign ministry of Jordan, the custodian of the site.
