Türkiye has “strongly” condemned Thursday the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by the extremist Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and far-right settlers.
“We name on Israeli authorities to take mandatory measures in a critical method to restrain these provocations which violate the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and its historic standing primarily based on the worldwide regulation, and to forestall escalation of the stress,” a Foreign Ministry assertion mentioned.
On Wednesday, far-right Jewish settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, in keeping with an official from the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.
More than 340 settlers entered the Haram al-Sharif space below Israeli police safety.
For Muslims, Al-Aqsa represents the world’s third-holiest web site. Jews name the realm the Temple Mount, saying it was the location of two Jewish temples in historical instances.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem, the place Al-Aqsa is situated, in the course of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed all the metropolis in 1980, in a transfer by no means acknowledged by the worldwide group.
Israeli forces and fanatical Jewish settlers incessantly perform raids at Al-Aqsa Mosque to impress Palestinians, and up to date years have seen the incursions develop bigger and extra brazen.
Türkiye strongly helps a two-state resolution to the Israel-Palestine battle, together with the institution of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
