New York: Israel's ambassador to the United Nations was made to sit in front of Riyad Mansour and instructed to pay attention to what he had to say.

Mansour continued, "This council should stop you. They should take responsibility. All states are bound to uphold international law and the pre-existing order (of Haram al-Sharif). They should stop you. But No one's fault: if our Palestinian population will not.

Mansour made the comments during an emergency Security Council meeting convened by the United Arab Emirates and China to discuss the unexpected visit of newly appointed Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem on Tuesday.

The Palestinian representative urged that the Security Council act swiftly to stop Israel's "complete contempt for us, for you and for the entire international community". According to Mansour the sanctity of Palestinian life, the sanctity of international law and the sanctity of al-Haram al-Sharif were violated by Ben-Visit of Gwir.

"But still, the Council does nothing. Despite your kind words, you remain inactive.

Palestinians were incensed by Ben-Visit Gvir at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which drew international condemnation and warnings about Israel's plans to change the status quo of the holy sites.

"The restraint and sense of responsibility we demonstrate should never be mistaken for weakness," Mansoor said. Evidence shows that Israel's continued pursuit of this path has resulted in rebellion, not surrender.

Act now and "don't lament once the fire has spread out of control," he urged nations that were devoted to international law and peace.

In Benyamin Netanyahu's new coalition government, Ben-Gvir, a far-right politician, was convicted of incitement

In 2007, in response to anti-Arab sentiment and increasing control over Israel's police, he was appointed Minister of National Security. His call to Jewish prayer goes far back at Al-Aqsa, the scene of many conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians in the past.

Ben-Gweer, according to Mansour, was "known for his racist views" and had come to al-Haram Sharif "to pursue the same extremist agenda he has pursued throughout his life: dismantling the historical and legal status quo". do," not paying a visit. Regardless of the consequences, that is their goal, Mansour said.

“Al-Haram al-Sharif will not be uprooted. It will never break. It will last for many generations. It will topple Netanyahu, Gvir and Erdan and topple Begin, Shamir and Sharon. The importance of al-Haram to all Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims around the world is not understood by those who seek a temporal and spatial division of al-Haram or those who intend to seek it.

They do not understand how sensitive this holy place is to billions of people in every corner of the world.

According to Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, the emergency meeting was a "non-event", at a time when the Security Council should be meeting to discuss other "countless security situations", such as the "murderous Ayatollah regime". "Tehran".

The Ben-Visit was, according to Gvir, brief, peaceful and legal, and "was not an intrusion into al-Aqsa or any other construction," as the Palestinians labeled it.

According to Ardern, the trip was in line with the status quo, and anyone who argues otherwise is only escalating the conflict.

Erdan accused the Palestinian Authority of changing the status quo by "turning the site into a battlefield, stockpiling weapons, spreading provocations and promoting violence through false claims that al-Aqsa is under threat". And there are no plans to do so.

“The Palestinian Authority is insisting that any Jewish presence on the Temple Mount is unacceptable, including for Jewish prayer. To change the status quo seems to be doing this. It is blatant anti-Semitism.

"This institution, and the Security Council in particular, must stop promoting the false and dangerous narrative of the Palestinians and legitimizing their lies."

Mohammed Abushahab, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United Arab Emirates, strongly condemned the "storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard" by Ben-Gvir while Israeli forces were present.

Such provocative actions, according to Abushahab, "demonstrate a lack of commitment to the current historical and legal status of the holy sites in Jerusalem, and they further destabilize the fragile situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories," he warned. Said they can provoke. More extremism and hatred in the region.

The representative of the Emirati government also condemned the recent vandalism of a Christian cemetery on Mount Zion and demanded that those responsible for trampling and desecrating graves at the revered historical and religious site be held accountable.

Abushahab emphasised the significance of safeguarding the Al-Aqsa mosque and putting an end to any violations occurring there.

"We stress the necessity of respecting the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's custodial role over the holy sites and endowments in accordance with international law and the historical status quo and not undermining the authority of the Administration of Jerusalem's Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs and its mandate to manage all affairs of Haram Al-Sharif, including its entry procedures."

A united stance against "any actions that could inflame tensions or escalate the situation in the region" is what Abushahab urged the Security Council to take. 

He also stressed the significance of reviving the Middle East peace process in order to create a two-state solution and a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital "living side by side with Israel in peace and security" within the borders of 1967.

Ben-visit G'vir's had caused "a grave situation on the ground," according to China, which along with the UAE had requested the emergency meeting. China also called for the preservation of peace and tranquilly at the holy sites.

Israel was urged to "stop all incitements and provocations and refrain from any unilateral action that may lead to the worsening of the situation" by Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN.
