ABU DHABI, April 15th / WAM / The UAE today strongly condemned the storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli forces, which resulted in the injury of a number of civilians.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation stressed the need for self-restraint and protection for worshipers, noting the state’s position calling for the need for the Israeli authorities to respect the Palestinians’ right to practice their religious rites and to stop any practices that violate the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
She also stressed the need to respect the role of the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in caring for the holy sites and endowments in accordance with international law and the existing historical situation, and not to prejudice the authority of the powers of the Jerusalem Endowment Administration and the affairs of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
She stressed the need to support all regional and international efforts to advance the peace process in the Middle East, as well as the need to put an end to the illegal Israeli practices that threaten the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
