Riyadh, Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Tuesday statements made by the Israeli occupation government minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, regarding the establishment of a synagogue in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that the Kingdom expresses its categorical rejection of these extremist and provocative statements, and its rejection of the ongoing provocations of Muslims around the world, stressing the ‘need to respect the historical and legal status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.’
It also renewed its call for the international community ‘to assume its responsibilities in putting an end to the humanitarian catastrophe witnessed by the Palestinian people, and to activate serious mechanisms to hold Israeli officials accountable for the ongoing violations of international laws, norms and resolutions.’
