In a statement by Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, it condemned the incursion and warned against the dangerous repercussions of allowing extremists to enter the site and engage in provocative actions.
According to the Jordanian news agency, Petra, the Ministry's official spokesperson, Ambassador Sinan Al-Majali, said that the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound violates its sanctity and that the settlers' violent actions amount to blatant violations of international law.
Al-Majali also emphasised the rights of Palestine to sovereignty over Occupied eastern Jerusalem; he reminded Tel Aviv that – as an occupying power – it lacks sovereignty over the entirety of Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites.
Turkiye's Foreign Ministry also weighed in on the condemnation, calling on "Israeli authorities to take necessary measures in a serious manner to restrain these provocations which violate the sanctity of Al Aqsa Mosque and its historical status, based on the international law and to prevent escalation of the tension".
