Israel’s UN Ambassador: Emergency Security Council Meeting on Temple Mount Visit ‘Pathetic’
The Algemeiner ^ | JANUARY 5, 2023 | Andrew Bernard

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan on Thursday slammed the emergency UN Security Council meeting on an Israeli minister’s visit to the Temple Mount as “pathetic” and based on a “fabrication.”

“To hold a Security Council session on a non-event is truly absurd,” Erdan said at a press stakeout before the meeting. “Israel’s Minister of National Security’s visit to the Temple Mount lasted 13 minutes in a peaceful and orderly fashion, without causing any destruction. This visit was not an incursion into Al-Aqsa or any other fabrication that the Palestinians branded his visit. Minister Ben-Gvir’s visit was in line with the status quo, and whoever claims otherwise is only inflaming the situation.”

Thursday’s Security Council meeting was requested by the United Arab Emirates and China following National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit to the Temple Mount on Tuesday.

Ben-Gvir’s was the first visit by an Israeli minister to the Temple Mount since 2017, when Erdan received a security briefing there as public security minister following a terrorist attack. The UAE, which established relations with Israel as part of the 2020 Abraham Accords, joined Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Arab states in condemning the visit, which they described as the “storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard.”

Israel’s Netanyahu races ahead with hard-line agenda

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government has wasted no time implementing its ultra-nationalist agenda, including adopting a seemingly petty ban on displaying the Palestinian flag and shaking the foundations of Israel’s democracy with a proposed legal assault on the Supreme Court.

After barely two weeks in power, the most hard-line and religious government in Israel’s history already is fomenting divisions at home and barreling toward conflict with the Palestinians and Israel’s allies abroad.

“We are not waiting, and I think the citizens of Israel already feel this,” Netanyahu told lawmakers in his Likud Party on Monday. “We formed a different government, with different policies, and we run things differently.”

It was an emergency! There was no violence, not even an excited ululation or a stone thrown. What went wrong?/s
