Israel has scaled up its violence against Palestinians over the past week, raiding Al-Aqsa Mosque several times and pushing out Muslim worshippers from its grounds.
Al Asoomi and Tazi also discussed parliamentary diplomacy potential between the Arab Parliament and its Moroccan counterpart, citing the Palestinian issue as one of the most important in the cooperation between the two.
Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita said that the violence in Al-Aqsa was a result of systemic practices, during a meeting between Arab ministers to discuss the developments in Palestine on Thursday.
Various Arab countries and international organizations have condemned Israel’s actions, calling for swift action by the international community to protect Palestinians’ rights.
