The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom's “rejection and condemnation in the strongest terms” an Israeli official’s storming of Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque and the Knesset's adoption of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian State.

“The Kingdom affirmed that these continued hostile practices towards Islamic sanctities and international resolutions and laws reflect the aggressive approach of the Israeli occupation authorities,” the Ministry said in a statement.

It stressed that “these practices hinder any progress aimed at sparing the blood of innocent people and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.”

The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Thursday the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by an Israeli official, and the Knesset’s endorsement of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa denounced in a statement Israel's hostile practices which he said constitute an assault on the sanctity of the holy sites and a dangerous defiance of international laws.
He added that Israel’s practices undermine the efforts exerted to achieve comprehensive peace for all and end the large-scale suffering in the Palestinian territories.
On Thursday, Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed into Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, threatening to disrupt Gaza cease fire talks.
Moreover, the Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state.
