The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Thursday the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by an Israeli official, and the Knesset’s endorsement of a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa denounced in a statement Israel's hostile practices which he said constitute an assault on the sanctity of the holy sites and a dangerous defiance of international laws.
He added that Israel’s practices undermine the efforts exerted to achieve comprehensive peace for all and end the large-scale suffering in the Palestinian territories.
On Thursday, Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed into Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, threatening to disrupt Gaza cease fire talks.
Moreover, the Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
