Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Tuesday an Israeli minister’s storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard in Jerusalem.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry said the Kingdom “categorically rejects Israel's ongoing violations of international law, its disrespect for the sanctity of Islamic holy sites, and its provocation of Muslims worldwide.”
It stressed the need for the international community “to fulfill its responsibility to stop all Israeli violations and transgressions against the Palestinian people, as well as against the holy and historical sites in occupied Palestine.”
It urged “respect for the historical and legal status of Al-Aqsa Mosque and accountability from Israel for its repeated and egregious actions.”
