Doha, Qatar has strongly condemned the violent storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist Israeli officials and settlers, who were aided by occupation police. The act, described as a blatant breach of international law, has provoked outrage across the Muslim world.
In a statement on Monday, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Al-Aqsa is a sacred site reserved exclusively for Muslims. The ministry made clear that any attempts to change the status quo in Jerusalem and its holy sites through unilateral action are invalid under international law.
The ministry warned that ongoing violations and provocations would only lead to more cycles of violence and instability in the region. It called on the international community to intervene urgently to force Israel to stop its abuses against Palestinians and their holy places, and to adhere to relevant international resolutions.
Qatar reiterated its full support for the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people's determination to end the occupation. This stance is driven by the desire to secure an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, as outlined in the 1967 borders.
