Rabat – A list of countries have renewed frustration and concerns about Israel’s new attack against Palestinian worshippers at Al Aqsa mosque.
Sunday marked another hostile attack from Israeli forces, who attacked Palestinian worshippers at Bab as-Silsila, one of the entrances to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem.
The forces ejected worshipers from the mosque, while denying access to Palestinians below the age of 50 “to clear the way for Israeli settlers on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year,” Al Jazeera reported.
Israeli settlers accompanied and protected by an intensified presence of security forces made provocative incursions into the mosque.
Many countries have condemned the provocative act, including Saudi Arabia, which denounced the storming of the mosque by a group of extremists under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also holds Israel “fully responsible for the repercussions of these continued violations,” stressing its appeal to the international community to assume its responsibilities and to end the escalation of the Israeli occupation.
Qatar made a similar statement, stressing that such acts are attempts to prejudice the religious and historical status of the holy site.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry joined Saudi Arabia in holding Israel responsible for the violence caused by the systematic escalation exerted by the Israeli occupation.
Palestine’s Foreign Ministry also responded to Israel’s assaults, condemning the violations and crimes committed by Israeli forces as well as settler militias and armed terrorist elements.
