Pakistan, 7 Muslim nations decry Israel's 'unacceptable' breaches against Islamic, Christian sites in Jerusalem
External ministers of Pakistan and seven other Muslim countries on Thursday condemned Israel’s “unacceptable” breaches against Islamic and Christian sites in Jerusalem, describing them as repeated breaches of the historic and legal status quo at the holy sites by Israeli occupation representatives.
The condemnation came amid continued reports of incursions, as a day earlier, dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem under heavy police protection.
According to a joint official comment released by the external ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Türkiye, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, they restated their categorical rejection of any attempts to alter the historic and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites, stressing its preservation while recognising the special role of the historic Hashemite custodianship.
The ministers particularly condemned continued incursions by Israeli settlers and radical element ministers into Al-Aqsa Mosque under Israeli police protection, as well as the raising of the Israeli flag within its courtyards.
“These provocative actions at Al-Aqsa Mosque ... constitute a flagrant violation of global statute and global humanitarian statute, and represent an unacceptable provocation to Muslims around the world, and a flagrant violation of the sanctity of the holy metro,” the ministers restated again.
“The entire area of Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Sharif, which amounts to 144 dunams, is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims,” they stated, adding that the Jerusalem Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Division, affiliated with the Jordanian Government department of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, was the legal entity with special jurisdiction to administer the affairs of the mosque and to regulate entry thereto.
