Saudi Arabia has condemned “repeated provocative practices” by Israeli officials at Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem.

A Foreign Ministry statement said Thursday that most recently an Israeli official stormed the Mosque under police protection, and another official raised the Israeli flag in the Mosque compound.

The statement said that “the Kingdom reaffirms its categorical rejection of all actions that undermine the historical and legal status of Al-Quds and its holy sites.”

It urged the international community “to put an end to such practices that violate international laws and norms, and to hold the Israeli occupation authorities accountable for their serious and ongoing violations against Islamic holy sites and innocent civilians in the State of Palestine.”
