RAMALLAH, Sunday, July 18, 2021 (WAFA) – The European Union (EU) said today it was concerned over the ongoing tensions around the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Haram Al-Sharif) in occupied Jerusalem, fuelled today by the mass Israeli incursion into the holy site.

"Concerned over ongoing tensions around the Haram Al-Sharif. Acts of incitement have to be avoided and the status quo respected," said the EU mission to Palestine in a tweet.

"Israeli authorities, religious, and community leaders from all sides should act urgently to calm down this explosive situation."
