London: The UK Wednesday condemned the visit of Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to the Al Aqsa Mosque, describing it as “provocative.”
British Foreign and Development Secretary David Lammy wrote on X, “The UK strongly condemns Minister Ben-Gvir’s deliberately provocative visit to Jerusalem’s Holy Sites.
“Such actions undermine the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s role as custodian of the sites and the longstanding Status Quo arrangements.
“The focus of all parties must be on securing an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages, and restoring regional stability.”
