Egypt on Monday condemned the repeated and escalating violations of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, carried out by Jewish extremist elements in full view of the Israeli occupation troops.
In a statement released by the Foreign Ministry yesterday, Egypt stressed that the continuation of such violations, the imposition of restrictions on the movement of Palestinian worshipers and their performance of religious rites as well as the continuous attempts to alter Jerusalem’s legal and historical status, are considered a flagrant violation of international law, and a dangerous escalation that undermines the chances of achieving a just and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian cause and achieving the two-state solution.
In the statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned of the utmost danger of the continuation of provocative practices in the vicinity of the Islamic holy sites in the holy mosque, as they increase the state of tension, fuel violence, and put more obstacles in the way of efforts to resume the peace process.
