Sunday, 21 May 2023 17:32

WAM

The UAE has strongly condemned the storming Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar bin Gvir, under the protection of Israeli forces.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) reiterated the need to provide full protection for Al Aqsa Mosque and stop provocative violations.

It underscored the need to respect the role of Jordan over the holy sites and endowments in accordance with international law and the historical situation at hand and not to compromise the authority of the Jerusalem Endowment Administration and Al Aqsa Mosque.

The ministry urged Israeli authorities to avoid taking steps that escalate tension.

Moreover, it stressed the need to support all regional and international efforts to advance the Middle East Peace Process, end illegal practices that threaten the two-state solution, and establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
