ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE: NO CHANGE IN THE STATUS QUO

Ben-Gvir's outrageous statement caused turmoil in Israel. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated in a written statement that there is no change in the status quo of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

"IT WILL LEAD TO BLOODSHED"

Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, who reacted to Ben-Gvir's statements, called for a warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the "extreme right-wing minister." Arbel said that Ben-Gvir's statements could lead to "bloodshed."

"PUTTING ISRAEL IN DANGER"

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Ben Gvir's mention of allowing Jewish worship in the Al-Aqsa Mosque puts Israel in danger. Gallant stated that this would disrupt the long-standing status quo agreement and cause great anger in the Muslim world. Gallant also stated that keeping Ben Gvir in the coalition government would harm Israel and proposed imposing sanctions on some individuals, including government officials, when he said that "undermining the status quo is dangerous, unnecessary, and reckless."

AK PARTY SPOKESPERSON ÇELİK: THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE IS OUR SACRED VALUE

"A VILE AND CURSED STATEMENT"

Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir's mention of building a synagogue in the area where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is located is a vile and cursed statement that attacks all Muslims and humanity. Members of Netanyahu's network are also enemies of mosques and churches. This network signs a new provocation every day to dynamite regional peace. These are the genocide and massacre network that tries to drag the entire region into religious wars to escape accountability before the law.

The international community should take a clear stance against the members of the Netanyahu administration who make provocative statements about the status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque."
