British Foreign Secretary David Lammy wrote on his X social media post: “The UK strongly condemns Ben-Gvir’s deliberately provocative visit to Jerusalem’s Holy Sites”.

The post further said that “such actions undermine the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s role as a custodian of the sites and longstanding Status Quo arrangements”

Meanwhile, Russia described the incident as "another provocative act" and expressed concern over an incursion by Ben-Gvir and Israeli settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds.

"The Israeli authorities should not limit themselves to condemning such actions, but must take effective measures to stop this evil practice," a Russian foreign ministry statement said, adding that such actions violate the existing status of the holy places as was stipulated in a treaty between Jordan and Israel in 1994.

Earlier on Tuesday, far-right Israeli minister Ben-Gvir along with some 400 Zionists under the protection of the regime’s forces broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is the third holiest place in Islam, saying that Jews should be allowed to pray at the compound.

Ben-Gvir’s remark and the desecration of Al-Aqsa drew strong condemnations from several countries, including Iran that said “the provocative” act showed the regime wanted to expand tension in the region.
