UK condemns Ben-Gvir's 'provocative' visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque

Britain strongly condemned the Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, British foreign minister David Lammy said on Wednesday.

"The UK strongly condemns Minister Ben-Gvir’s deliberately provocative visit to Jerusalem's Holy Sites," said the country's Foreign Minister David Lammy in a post on X.

"Such actions undermine the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's role as custodian of the sites and the longstanding Status Quo arrangements," he added.
