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.
