Saudi Arabia slams Israeli raid on Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque
Riyadh (QNN)- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemned on Wednesday the “blatant storming carried out by Israeli settlers” into Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem during the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's “condemnation and rejection of the blatant storming carried out by Israeli settlers into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid the protection of the Israeli occupation forces,” stressing that these practices “undermine peace efforts and violate international principles and norms regarding respect for religious sanctities.”
The Ministry also reiterated the Kingdom's firm stance in supporting all efforts aimed at “ending the occupation and reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause, that enables the Palestinian people to establish their independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Al-Ouds (East Jerusalem) as its capital.”
He claimed that the US “maintained the Gaza ceasefire, delivered record levels of humanitarian aid” and that “you don’t hear” about Palestinians in Gaza starving anymore.
Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has approved the issuance of gun licenses to Israeli settlers in 18 illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, amid a surge in settler violence against Palestinians.
