Muslim nations condemn Ben Gvir "storming Al Aqsa Mosque." Their incitement is the real violation of international law.

Turkey's Anadolu Agency reports:

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir forced his way, along with illegal settlers, into the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem on Wednesday, marking a new provocation amid the ongoing war on Gaza.

Arab News reported:

Saudi Arabia condemned the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday by Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it strongly condemns “the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli national security minister under the protection of occupation police.”

 Jordan's Foreign Ministry stated:

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned, in the strongest terms, the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif by extremist Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir today, under the protection of the occupation police. 

The Ministry's spokesperson, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Al-Qudah, affirmed the Kingdom's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif by an extremist Israeli minister, in a flagrant violation of international law and the obligations of Israel, the occupying power in occupied Jerusalem, and an attempt to impose temporal and spatial division. He stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied city of Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites. 

Here's a photo of this "storming"  the "mosque:"


This is strolling, not "storming." He entered no mosque.

There is nothing illegal about his visit. Israel's agreement with Jordan did not give the Jordanian Waqf control over the site. On the contrary, banning Jews from the Temple Mount and other areas of Jerusalem - the holiest site in Judaism, which Jordan did when it controlled the area - is the real violation of international law

Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.
Jordan, by strongly condemning the peaceful visit of any Jew to the most sacred spot in Judaism, is indeed inciting religious hatred, let alone discrimination. 

I myself have had the privilege of "storming" the Temple Mount twice. 

This is incitement. But it isn't the kind of incitement that anyone in the international community will ever say a word against.
