Israeli and Palestinian diplomats clashed violently on Thursday at United Nations Security Council: Israel criticized a “meaningless” meeting condemning the minister’s visit to the Al-Masjid compound in East Jerusalem as Palestinians condemned crossing the “red line”.
Itamar Ben Gvir, an Israeli far-right figure and the new Homeland Security Minister, arrived Tuesday morning at this holy site at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, prompting a wave of international condemnation, including from the United States, allies of the history of the Jewish state.
At the request of China and the United Arab Emirates, the 15 members of the Security Council held a public and heated debate for two hours at the UN Headquarters in New York.
“There is absolutely no reason for this emergency meeting to be held today. No. Holding a meeting of the Security Council in connection with a “non-event” is really absurd,” Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan told reporters.
The diplomat denied that his minister Ben-Gvir’s visit was “a raid on (the esplanade of the mosque) Al-Aqsa” or a violation of the historic “status quo” regarding Jerusalem’s holy sites.
“Every Jew has the right to visit the Temple Mount,” he insisted, referring to the site as it is known in Judaism.
When are they going to perform?
Ambassador of Palestine to UNRiyad Mansour lashed out at his Israeli counterpart, calling the new government “colonial and racist.” In addition, he criticized the UN for its response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“What red line must Israel cross for the Security Council to finally say enough is enough and act? When are they going to act?” Mansour asked.
According to the historical status quo, non-Muslims can visit the site at certain times, but cannot pray. However, in recent years, more and more Jews, often nationalists, have been praying there, in what Palestinians and some Middle Eastern countries denounce as a “provocation.”
Question AFP On leaving the Security Council, the Palestinian ambassador hailed “unanimity in defense of the status quo” although no concrete action on the part of UN after his claims to Israel.
