Al-Safadi leads Arab ministerial meeting on Jerusalem

The Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Jordan, Ayman Safadi, chaired an Arab meeting to address Israel’s illegal policies in occupied Jerusalem, as part of the Arab League Council's proceedings. The meeting reaffirmed that East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory and warned against tampering with the legal and historical status of the holy sites, especially Al-Haram Al-Sharif/Al-Aqsa Mosque. It emphasized the importance of maintaining the status quo and avoiding any temporal or spatial division of the site. The meeting also condemned Israeli policies targeting Palestinians in Jerusalem, including settlement expansion and home demolitions, viewing these as ongoing threats to the prospects of establishing an independent Palestinian state. Additionally, a warning was issued against attempts to marginalize UNRWA and a call was made to the international community to protect the agency.
