The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned on Sunday the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by hundreds of settlers and Israeli officials under the protection of Israeli security forces.

In a statement, Secretary-General of the MWL and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Al-Issa denounced the raid as a heinous crime that violates the sanctity of Islamic holy sites.

He warned of the consequences of the Israeli government’s continued attacks on these sites and its provocation of Muslims around the world.
