Foreign ministry condemns Israel for allowing extremist break-ins at Al Aqsa

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, on Thursday, condemned Israel for allowing Jewish extremists to break into Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif, under the protection of the Israeli police.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Haitham Abu Alfoul stressed that Al Aqsa Mosque, with its total area of 144 dunums, is a place of worship for Muslims only, and that the Jerusalem and Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department is the only institution allowed to administer the affairs of Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif and organize entry to the mosque.

He called on Israel, as the occupying power, to stop all violations and actions against Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif, respect the sanctity of the mosque and halt all measures aiming at changes to the legal and historical status quo in the holy city of Jerusalem.
