AMMAN — Extremist Israeli
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir announced on Wednesday that he
will continue storming Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, in defiance of a
pledge made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to His Majesty King Abdullah
during their meeting in Amman on Tuesday.
The Hebrew channel "Kan"
quoted Ben Gvir as saying in a statement that "with all due respect to
Jordan, I did this, and I will continue to go up to Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa
Mosque)".
"The State of Israel is independent, and has no tutelage from any other country."
The Kan channel described these
statements as a "challenge" to Netanyahu, who had pledged to King
Abdullah to preserve the status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
