RAMALLAH, Sunday, June 02, 2019 (WAFA) - The presidency strongly condemned on Sunday the series of incursions and aggression on holy sites, and the desecration of the sanctity of al-Aqsa Mosque and the attack on worshippers by Israeli soldiers and settlers.

"We hold the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the serious of escalations in al-Aqsa Mosque as a result of continuing incursions and attacks on worshippers by extremist settlers under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces," presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement released today.

He warned of the dangerous consequences of Israeli practices that could drag the region into a new cycle of violence that would threaten the security of the entire region.

The spokesman called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities in this regard and pressure Israel to stop this policy, by which it is attempting to turn the political conflict into a religious one.
