The Islamic Endowment of Jerusalem, the Palestinian authorities and the Jerusalem Governorate have described the incident as a serious provocation, a desecration of the mosque and a clear violation of the rights of Palestinian worshippers.

Israeli minister Ben-Governor made a provocative statement from the mosque compound, saying, “This place is for Jews, we will always be here.” His statement was strongly condemned around the world.
