FO slams storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, raising of Israeli flag
Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the raising of Israel’s flag within its courtyard by illegal Israeli settlers, calling it a blatant violation of global statute.
Israeli occupiers had stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Tuesday, raising the Israeli flag during the incursion amid escalating tensions across the West Bank. The occupiers had forced their way into the site through the Mughrabi Gate, one of the mosque’s entrances, under heavy police protection, according to a reporter.
Videos circulating on social press had shown occupiers performing Talmudic rituals and offering prayers aloud, including what is referred to as “epic prostration”, particularly in the eastern area of the compound. Photos shared online had also shown two occupiers raising the Israeli flag inside the compound, with the Dome of the Rock visible in the background.
In a comment, the External Office stated Pakistan condemned the event in the strongest terms.
“These reprehensible acts constitute a blatant violation of global statute, as well as of the sanctity and inviolability of the holy site,” the comment stated, adding that such provocative steps risked further escalating tensions in the zone.
