CAIRO, (The Palestine Information Centre)The Arab Parliament strongly condemned on Monday the incursion of Israeli forces into Aqsa Mosque and the provocative practices that violated its sanctity and those of Islamic cemeteries.
In a statement, the Arab Parliament also denounced the violation of the Israeli occupation forces of the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil and preventing worshipers from entering, saying that the act violates the freedom of prayer.
The statement condemned the “aggressive attack” on Noor Shams refugee camp in eastern Tulkarem City, which resulted in the martyrdom of two young men and the destruction of the camp’s infrastructure, in addition to increasing brutal attacks on citizens of the Gaza Strip.
The Arab Parliament considered the attacks “war crimes and crimes against humanity”, stressing that “the Israeli violations are an invitation to provoke more violence and complicate the conflict.”
It called on the international community, the UN Security Council, and human rights institutions to practice more pressure on Israel to stop its continuous attacks and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.
It also called for stopping all practices and violations against the Aqsa Mosque, respecting its sanctity, and respecting the authority of the Jerusalem Endowments Administration.
The statement reaffirmed that the Aqsa Mosque, with its entire area of 144,000 square meters, is a pure place of worship for Muslims and under Jordanian custodianship.
