The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the widest colonial incursion in months, carried out on Thursday by more than 3,228 settlers into the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, under heavy protection from the Israeli occupation forces, in violation of the existing historical and legal status.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry stressed that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in its entire area, is an exclusive place of worship for Muslims, and that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian land, especially over the city of Jerusalem, and that all measures, procedures and practices are null and void and do not establish any legal or historical right, and that all of them violate international law and United Nations resolutions, especially Security Council resolutions 476 and 478.

It called on the international community to take practical and binding steps to stop these violations, ensure respect for the existing historical and legal status in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and holy sites, prevent the imposition of any restrictions on the access of worshippers to their places of worship in the holy city, or the imposition of any new colonial facts by force, and enforce respect for the existing legal and historical status.
