The AP warned of the consequences of the escalation that leads to undermining the chances of resuming the peace process to achieve security and stability in the region, and called on the Israeli authorities to stop immediately the violations and attacks against Palestinians as well as any practices that violate the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque; the AP also called on the international community to make pressure on the Israeli side to stop the escalation and violations in Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Old City and the occupied Jerusalem.

The AP renewed its full support to the Palestinian people and to all efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive and just solution to the Palestinian cause enabling the Palestinians to establish their own independent Palestinian State on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital in accordance to the resolutions of international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative.
