The Arab Parliament denounced on Thursday, July 27, the large-scale incursion of Israeli settlers, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
The Arab Parliament stated that the ongoing intrusions by settlers and Israeli government officials into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as attempts to divide and tamper with its temporal and spatial integrity, represent a provocation to the sentiments of over 2 billion Muslims, a quarter of the world’s population.
“Such actions are rejected and may escalate tensions and lead the region into a religious conflict,” the statement warned.
The Arab Parliament reaffirmed its rejection of any attempts to alter the historical and legal status of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, including attempts to Judaize and undermine the freedom of Muslim worship, which contradict international law and United Nations resolutions.
The Arab Parliament called on the international community and the UN Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities in halting these provocative acts and to provide international protection for the Palestinian people and their religious sanctities while putting an end to the blatant violations committed by the Israeli force.
Additionally, the Arab Parliament called for a renewed effort to address the current situation and promote a fair and comprehensive peace process in the Middle East. They reiterated their steadfast support for the Palestinian people’s rightful aspirations to establish an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
On Thursday, 27 July 2023, approximately 1050 Israeli settlers, accompanied by Israeli far-right wing security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, forcibly entered the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and conducted provocative Talmudic rituals.
