In a statement, the ministry “expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation and rejection of the blatant storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque’s compound", saying "these practices undermine peace efforts."

“Such actions violate international principles and norms regarding respect for religious sanctities,” the statement added.
