The State of Qatar condemned the raid carried out by Israeli extremists on Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In a statement issued in Doha, it was said that the raid, conducted under the protection of occupying forces, constituted a provocative act and a clear violation of international law.

The statement also stressed that the act represented an unacceptable provocation against the feelings of Muslims around the world.

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a place of worship belonging exclusively to Muslims and that all attempts to alter the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and the holy sites are null and void.

The statement warned that the continuation of such violations could increase tensions in the region and raise the risk of violence. The international community was urged to intervene urgently to stop Israeli violations.

The ministry also reiterated the State of Qatar’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, noting that this support is based on ending the occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to attain their legitimate rights, foremost among them the establishment of an independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
