Outcry after Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir’s provocation: he organizes a prayer on the Esplanade of the Mosques

ByMuhammad

This is not his first foray into the desecration of the Esplanade of the Mosques in occupied Al-Quds, but this time the infamous Itamar Ben-Gvir, the ultra-racist Israeli Minister of National Security, has taken the outrage too far.

Escorted by 3,000 extremely fanatical settlers, one of the most ruthless war criminals of the Netanyahu government appeared strutting, walking cheerfully and singing Jewish religious songs at the top of his voice on Tuesday, August 13, near the third holiest site in Islam.

This vile, repeat provocateur, who more than any other Zionist of his kind royally mocks international law, had decided to come and pray there on the occasion of the Tisha Beav festival, which commemorates the fall of the first Temple of Jerusalem.

His new shattering, sacrilegious and inflammatory irruption will have had only one merit: to bring the famous international community out of its guilty inertia and silence. Struck blind by the absolute horror of the genocide in Gaza, it seems that the unbearable vision of Itamar Ben-Gvir, swollen with pride, has partially restored his sight… Less on the violation of the sacredness of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, than on that of a historical status quo,

The UN immediately denounced a ” unnecessary provocation “, while Joseph Borrel, the head of diplomacy of the European Union, has ” strongly condemned the provocations ” of this sinister troublemaker. Provocations which violate the very regulated status quo of this highly sensitive place in the holy city.

” We are against any attempt to change the status quo related to holy places (…) This type of behavior does not help “, raised his voice Farhan Haq, the UN spokesman, who is referring here to the status quo decreed in 1967, with the annexation of East Jerusalem by Israel.

Washington and Paris also reacted, calling it ” “unacceptable”prayer led by the faithful and the Israeli minister on the esplanade of the Mosques. In France, LThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs called, in a statement, ” the Israeli government to take all necessary measures to enforce the historical status quo on the Holy Places in Jerusalem”..
