Jerusalem (IINA) – The Supreme Presidential Commission for the Affairs of Churches in Palestine denounced the storming and desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Jewish settlers and Israeli occupation forces.
The Commission held Israel's government, the occupying power, responsible for the violations, and demanded that there be no recurrence of such heinous attacks on the sanctity of the place.
The Commission strongly condemned the Israeli racist measures to impose tight restrictions on the entry of Palestinians under the age of fifty into Al-Aqsa Mosque, while at the same time, allowing groups of settlers to break into the Mosque, organize provocative tours in its courtyards and to assault the guards and the worshipers in it.
The Commission called on the Arab states and the international community as well as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Al-Quds Committee to act urgently to protect Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites, and to put an end to these blatant violations of the international law. It also warned against the serious dangers threatening Jerusalem through its Judaization and isolation from the West Bank, changing its demography.
The Commission further called for international prosecution of the Israeli occupation authorities for the heinous crimes that targeted the temporal and spatial division of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
