Israel’s UN envoy mocks meeting over Ben-Gvir’s ‚uneventful‘ Temple Mount visit – Ambassador Gilad Erdan noted that Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir entered through the only non-Muslim entrance to the Temple Mount, at one of the limited designated times for Jewish admittance and made no attempt to pray. | JNS.org

(January 6, 2023 / JNS) Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations said he was “overjoyed” when he heard that the U.N. Security Council was holding an emergency meeting Thursday over the “quiet, orderly, uneventful” visit of an Israeli government minister to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.
“I figured that if this important body is meeting to discuss such a trivial matter, then we clearly achieved world peace overnight,” Gilad Erdan said, mocking the council’s decision to submit to the Palestinians’ demand for a discussion on the matter.
