Jordan and Arab nations condemn Israeli actions at Al-Aqsa
Jordan, along with several Arab and Islamic countries, condemned the Israeli escalation at Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially the mass raids led by extremist Israeli ministers protected by police forces, the raising of the Israeli flag within its courtyards, and the erection of two tents on its land. They warned that these provocative acts feed hatred and extremism, and hinder peace efforts based on a two-state solution. They emphasized that these escalations represent a blatant violation of international law and UN resolutions, and lead to a change in the legal and historical status of the holy sites in occupied Jerusalem. They reaffirmed that the entire area of the Al-Aqsa Mosque (144 dunams) is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims, and that the Jerusalem Endowments Department is the sole authority responsible for mosque affairs. They called on Israel to lift restrictions on access to the Old City, and on the international community to take a decisive stance to stop these violations. They stressed that Jerusalem must remain under Jordan’s historic guardianship and that Israel has no sovereignty over its sacred sites.
