The UN Security Council held an emergency session to discuss the repercussions of the Israeli Occupation National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, storming Al-Aqsa Mosque which was the first of its kind since 2017, but the session ended with no decision or statement being issued.

The meeting came to put an end to the Israeli Occupation's violations against the sanctities in the Palestinian territories, which Palestinians considered “an unprecedented provocation.”

For its part, the American delegation did not issue any decision against Israeli Occupation, although the American administration criticized Ben Gvir's storming of Al-Aqsa and expressed its fear of harming the status quo.

The session witnessed a confrontation between the Palestinian envoy to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, who considered what happened to be crossing the red line, and his counterpart in the Israeli Occupation, Jallad Erdan, who did not care about the session.

The Palestinian envoy said, “What red line does Israel need to cross for the Security Council to finally say, enough is enough?”

He also expressed his dismay that the council took no action, warning that the situation could turn into an uprising.

However, on the other hand, Erdan said that the session is “pathetic” and “absurd.”

“To hold a Security Council session on a non-event is truly absurd,” he said, calling Ben Gvir’s storming “in line with the status quo and whoever claims otherwise is only inflaming the situation.”

“To claim that this brief and completely legitimate visit should lead to an emergency Security Council session is pathetic,” he said.

Notably, Jordan, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates all condemned Ben Gvir’s storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Jordan summoned the ambassador, calling the visit a violation of international law and “the historic and legal status quo in Jerusalem.”
