Jordan's Foreign Ministry strongly denounces Israeli colonist's storming of al-Aqsa Mosque

AMMAN, Wednesday, June 12, 2024 (WAFA) – The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly denounced today the Israeli colonists’ storming of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, performing Talmudic rituals in its courtyards under heavy protection of the Israeli occupation police.

Spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Sufyan Qudah warned against the ongoing violations and provocative practices committed by the colonists, which violate the legal and historical situation in occupied Jerusalem and its sanctities and also represent a flagrant violation of international law.

He reiterated that the holy compound, which covers a total area of 144 dunums, is a solely Muslim place of worship, and Israel has no sovereignty over it or over occupied East Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites.

He further called on Israeli to cease all practices and violations against al-Aqsa Mosque and to respect its sanctity.

He also stressed that the Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department is the body with exclusive jurisdiction to manage all affairs of the compound and organize entry to it.
