BRUSSELS, Wednesday, August 27, 2024 (WAFA) - The High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, Joseph Borrell, expressed concerns over the repeated Israeli violations of the status quo of the holy sites, which are under continued threat, including from Israel’s extremist Minister, Ben Gvir.

This came in response to the call made by Jordan’s foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, in which he urged the UN Security Council and all members of the international community to take immediate effective action to stop the illegal Israeli measures that violate the historical and legal status quo at occupied Jerusalem’s Holy Sites.

“Regional stability is at stake,” said Borrell in a post on X.

Borrell stressed that such concerns are fully legitimate and must be addressed by the international community.

The Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, called for the construction of a synagogue in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
