Foreign Ministry spokesperson Haytham Abu Al Foul stressed the need to respect the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its shrines, urging to end all procedures that hinder worshippers’ access to Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
The extremists' storming and provocative actions represent a violation to the historical and legal status quo and international law, he said.
All Israeli unilateral measures aimed at denying Christians the right to free and unrestricted access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are rejected and denounced, he added, calling for ending all provocative actions that inflame the tension, hatred and violence.
