Foreign ministers from Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Authority, Qatar, Egypt and Morocco convene virtually and issue a joint statement condemning the recent Temple Mount visit of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

In the statement, the ministers “condemn in the strongest terms” Ben Gvir’s visit, which they call an “unacceptable violation” and a “dangerous escalation.”

They call on the UN Security Council, which is slated to meet today on the issue, to “work immediately” to stop such activity.

The ministers also call on Israel not to take any “provocative steps” in Jerusalem that would “threaten security and stability in the region.”
