ANTALIYA, August 4, 2025 (WAFA) - Turkey condemned in the strongest terms the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday by some Israeli ministers, under the protection of Israeli police and accompanied by Israeli colonist groups.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye said, “Ensuring the security of Al-Aqsa Mosque and preserving Jerusalem’s sacred character is a primary responsibility not only for the region but also in the name of the collective conscience of humanity.”

“These systematic provocations by the occupying power Israel, together with recent calls for annexation, target the foundations of the two-state solution and gravely undermine aspirations for peace.”

In the face of Israel’s ongoing destabilizing actions in Palestine and across the region, the statement reiterated the call for an immediate ceasefire and the establishment of a lasting peace based on the two-state solution.
