Türkiye, seven countries condemn Al-Aqsa raids

The foreign ministers of Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Jordan have condemned continued raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist Israeli settlers under the protection of Israeli forces.

In a joint statement, the ministers also condemned the unfurling of an Israeli flag in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

They said the acts were provocative and unacceptable, and constituted a clear violation of international law, relevant U.N. resolutions and the historical and legal status of holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem.

The ministers also condemned what they described as Israel’s ongoing measures aimed at altering the historical, legal and demographic character of occupied East Jerusalem and undermining the sanctity and status of Muslim and Christian holy sites.
