Zulkifli condemns Al-Aqsa incursions, backs call for international action

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 — Malaysian religious affairs minister and Senator Zulkifli Hasan has condemned the illegal entry of Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque Complex and the nearby Ibrahimi Mosque in Palestine. He strongly condemned the provocations carried out by Israeli security forces, stating that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, being the first 'Qibla' for Muslims, is a red line that must be defended by the entire Muslim community.

The Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) supports the strong stance taken by the government and calls upon the international community to respond appropriately to the actions of the Zionist regime. Zulkifli reiterated his solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for their rights and sovereignty, with Jerusalem as their capital.

He also urged Muslims across Malaysia to remain united, increase their prayers, and voice their objections to protect the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and ensure the safety of Palestinians.
