Türkiye strongly condemns Israeli raid led by minister on Al Aqsa Mosque
Türkiye on July 22 condemned "in strongest terms" a raid carried out by Israeli minister, accompanied by an extremist group, under the protection of Israeli security forces, on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
"We condemn in the strongest terms the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by an Israeli minister, accompanied by a group of extremists and under the protection of Israeli security forces," said the Foreign Ministry in a statement.
The statement reaffirmed that the global community has a shared responsibility to prevent the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "provocative acts and attempts to create fait accompli that violate the historical and legal status of the holy sites in Jerusalem, particularly Al-Aqsa Mosque, a place of worship exclusively for Muslims."
More than 3,200 Israeli occupiers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on July 22 morning as they marked the Jewish holiday of Tisha B’Av, commemorating what they call the “destruction of the Temple.”
