Jerusalem: The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs on Saturday condemned an attack by Israeli occupation police on Christians in Jerusalem during Holy Saturday processions.
According to Jordan News Agency, the Ministry’s official spokesperson, Fouad Majali, reiterated Jordan’s condemnation and absolute rejection of the illegal and restrictive Israeli measures against Christians. He emphasized the need to halt all measures that restrict Muslims and Christians from practicing their religious rites in their places of worship and urged respect for the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its holy sites, asserting that Israel has no sovereignty over Jerusalem.
Majali further called on the international community to uphold its legal and moral responsibility to compel Israel to cease its violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem. He emphasized the importance of respecting the historical and legal status quo and fulfilling the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent and sovereign state on their national soil under the two-state solution.
