Pakistan condemns ‘storming’ of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Ben-Gvir

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the recent “storming” of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem by Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Monday, saying that such actions were a violation of international law and imperil the prospects for peace in the Middle East. Ben-Gvir visited the mosque compound on Sunday, flanked by police officials, and said he prayed there, challenging rules covering one of the most sacred sites in Islam. The compound has been managed by a Jordanian Islamic trust called the Waqf since 1967, following the Six-Day War.
