The foreign ministers of eight countries on Thursday condemned escalating Israeli occupier violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including recent attacks on two mosques in northern Ramallah, Anadolu reports.
Turkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said they condemned “in the strongest terms” continued attacks on the Grand Mosque in the village of Jiljilya and Al-Farouq Mosque in the village of Mazar’a al-Nubani.
The foreign ministers said the attacks constituted a clear violation of the sanctity of places of worship and religious sites, as well as international law, including international humanitarian law and relevant UN resolutions.
They also rejected the “deplorable attacks by Israeli settlers” and continued illegal Israeli measures in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, saying the actions fuel instability, violence and extremism and undermine international efforts to achieve peace.
They held Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for the attacks.
