Jordan warns of fallout after storming Al-Aqsa
Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque have always been at the heart of the tensions between Palestinians and Israelis. With the recurring incursions by Israeli officials, fears of escalation have grown. On August 31, 2026, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the incursion of the extremist Israeli minister Ittamar Ben Gvir and settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque, accompanied by the Israeli police, considering it a blatant violation of the historical and legal status of the Haram al-Sharif and an unacceptable escalation. The statement reaffirmed that the Jerusalem Awqaf Department is the sole legal authority responsible for managing the mosque and that these incursions constitute a breach of international law, leading to continued escalation of violations against holy sites. It warned of the serious repercussions this could have on the situation in Jerusalem and the Islamic and Christian holy sites.
