He called on the UN Security Council to preserve the status quo in the occupied city of Jerusalem, and to refrain from any "unilateral" step or actions that might fuel tension in the holy places.
In an emergency session of the Security Council to discuss the situation in the city of Jerusalem, Khaled al-Khayari, Assistant Secretary-General for Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, described the Israeli Minister of National Security's visit to the holy sites as "inflammatory".
Hiyari said in his speech that the situation in the holy sites in Jerusalem is very fragile, and "any incident or tension could spread and cause violence throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Israel and elsewhere in the region."
The United States also expressed its concern about any actions that lead to escalation or undermine the two-state solution to which Washington is committed, and called on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric.
Robert Wood, the US deputy representative to the United Nations, said that his country opposes all unilateral measures that are inconsistent with the current historical situation and considers them unacceptable.
Uprising
In turn, the Palestinian representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, called on the UN Security Council to take action to prevent Israel from trying to change the status quo in the holy sites, and stressed that the patience of the Palestinian people had run out.
Mansour said that Israel has shown complete disregard for the sanctity of Palestinian life, the sanctity of international law and the sanctity of the Noble Sanctuary, considering that Tel Aviv's actions will not lead to the surrender of the Palestinians, but rather may lead to an uprising.
On the other hand, during the session, the Israeli representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, downplayed the importance of the issue, and said that visiting the holy sites in Jerusalem is "the right of every Jew."
In Friday's statements, Erdan considered the Palestinian Authority an "enemy" and defended Ben Gvir's storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, saying, "Minister Ben Gvir's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque was not an invasion. The minister's visit was in line with the status quo, and those who claim otherwise are fueling the fire." Just".
The position of China and Russia
China rejected the actions of Israeli officials, and its delegate said that these actions "lead to inflaming the situation," calling on Israel to move away from everything that violates international law, and any measures that would bring about changes in the status quo in Jerusalem.
He also stressed China's position in support of the establishment of the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders, in accordance with international principles and laws.
In turn, the Russian delegate expressed his country's rejection of Ben Gvir's storming of the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and considered that it was an act that "provokes anger."
Under heavy guard by the Israeli occupation police, Ben Gvir stormed the Al-Aqsa courtyards for a quarter of an hour last Tuesday morning, which sparked Palestinian anger and Arab and Islamic condemnation.
