Saudi Arabia condemned on Wednesday the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israeli officials and settlers under the protection of Israeli forces.

The Kingdom reiterated its strongest condemnation of the continued attacks on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, said a Foreign Ministry statement.

It stressed its “categorical rejection of anything that would undermine the historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites.”

It called on the international community to hold the Israeli authorities “accountable for their serious and ongoing violations against Islamic holy sites and innocent civilians in the State of Palestine.”

Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem on Wednesday and called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pursue “complete victory” over Hamas in Gaza.
