RAMALLAH, April 2, 2025 (WAFA) – Saudi Arabia condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem by extremist Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns in the strongest terms the storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli National Security Minister under the protection of the occupation police."

It also went on to say, "The Kingdom reiterates its condemnation of the continued blatant Israeli attacks on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque."

The Ministry also expressed the Kingdom's condemnation of the Israeli occupation forces' targeting of a clinic affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip, denouncing the continued targeting of UN and relief organizations.

In a statement, Saudi Arabia affirmed its rejection of anything that would undermine the historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites, stressing the need to protect UN and relief organizations and their staff.

It called on the international community to put an end to the Israeli war machine, which disregards any humanitarian values, international laws, or norms, and to hold the Israeli occupation authorities accountable for all their violations.

 It further warned that the international community's failure to deter such serious and ongoing violations would diminish the chances of achieving the desired peace, contribute to the decline in the credibility and legitimacy of international law, and negatively impact regional and international security and stability.
