Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Sunday Israeli settlers for storming the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of security forces.

The Kingdom’s Foreign Ministry reiterated its denunciation of ongoing Israeli violations of international law and repeated attacks on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Kingdom affirmed its categorical rejection of anything that affects the historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites, calling on the international community to hold Israeli authorities accountable for their serious and ongoing violations against Islamic holy sites and innocent civilians in Palestine.
