Jordan’s Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Abdul-Naser Abu Basal, has said that the Jordanian Awqaf is following with great concern the occupation authority’s aggression against the Aqsa Mosque, which “has turned into a military post.”

“The occupation authority’s attempts to change the historical status quo and impose the temporal and spatial division at the Haram esh-Sharif (Aqsa Mosque) is an attack on the time and place of the holy site, which belongs to the Muslims alone,” minister Abu Basal stated in a press release.

He stressed that the Muslims never forget that the Aqsa Mosque is their sacred right and that its sanctity is no less sacred than al-Masjid al-Haram in Makkah city.
