The Arab Parliament condemned on Friday Israel’s latest aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

It slammed it for targeting innocent civilians, claiming the lives of dozens of victims.

It held Israel responsible for the consequences of this “dangerous escalation against the Palestinian people.”

It denounced it for carrying out strikes “against civilian locations in blatant defiance of international law and violation of the United Nations Charter and international treaties.”

It called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the escalation and protect civilians.

The Arab Parliament has condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, describing it as provocative towards the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.
In a statement on Thursday, the Arab Parliament said that the Israeli minister's action represents yet another breach in the continuing series of violations committed by Israel against the Palestinian people and the Islamic and Christian holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
It rejected any attempts to undermine the historical and legal status of the holy sites in occupied Jerusalem as null and void, emphasizing that these attempts constitute a blatant violation of international law and pertinent UN resolutions, further exacerbating escalation, tension, and instability in the region.
The Arab Parliament urged the international community and the UN Security Council to put an end to the ongoing violations and attacks perpetrated by Israel against the sacred sites in Jerusalem.
