BER-GVIR STORMS AL-AQSA MOSQUE IN RESPONSE TO EU STATES THAT RECOGNISED PALESTINE
May 23, 2024Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem on the day a number of European countries recognised a Palestinian state, amid the ongoing war on Gaza.
Images showed Itamar Ben Gvir entering the complex flanked by heavily armed Israeli forces.
In a video taken from the courtyards of the mosque, the far-right minister said the Jerusalem site “”belongs only to the state of Israel””.
His visit came as Spain, Ireland and Norway announced their recognition of the state of Palestine, which in turn prompted Israel to recall its ambassadors.
“”I made it clear: the countries that recognised a Palestinian state this morning want to give a reward to the kidnappers of the female soldiers and their many supporters in Gaza,”” Ben Gvir said.
“”We will not allow any surrender that would even include a declaration of a Palestinian state.””
Al-Aqsa Mosque, which spans 14 hectares and includes the Dome of the Rock and the silver-domed al-Qibli Mosque, is an Islamic site where unsolicited visits, prayers and rituals by non-Muslims are forbidden, according to decades-long international agreements.

English Script:
Ben-Gvir: From the holiest place to the people of Israel and which belongs only to the State of Israel. I say that tonight we will receive additional evidence as to why it is necessary to completely destroy Hamas. The countries that recognized today a Palestinian state are giving a reward to the murderers, to the kidnappers, to the persecutors, and I say that we will not allow any surrender, we will not allow any surrender that includes even a declaration of a Palestinian state. I say one more thing, that in order to destroy Hamas, we need to enter Rafah until the end, to do a root treatment. We, in order to bring back our prisoners, we need to stop the process, we need to establish that it is humanitarian, humanitarian only, and to control this place, the most important place.
