Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi stressed that the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by an Israeli minister and several extremist settlers constitutes a blatant violation of Islamic sanctities and reflects the occupation forces’ intent to continue destabilizing security and stability in the Palestinian territories, SPA reported.
Albudaiwi pointed out that these repeated incursions by settlers and Israeli officials into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque represent a serious breach of international law and the existing historical and legal status quo of Jerusalem and its sanctities.
He highlighted that this act is a clear and blatant violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, a provocation to the sentiments of Muslims, and an escalation that exacerbates tensions in the region, pushing the situation into a continuous cycle of violence.
