The storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem by hardline Jews, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, has sparked condemnation from the Arab League. The extremist actions were met with strong criticism as they provoked the sentiments of millions of Muslims worldwide.
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit expressed concern over the escalation, attributing full responsibility to the Israeli government for allowing such provocative actions to take place under the protection of Israeli police. The incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound violate the city’s historical and legal status quo, as part of Israel’s attempt to impose a division in the holy site.
Condemning the political exploitation of religious sentiments, the Arab League emphasized the dangerous repercussions of such actions. The implications of these incursions extend beyond mere political gains and threaten to ignite religious tensions in the region.
