The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemns the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by extremist Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and extremist settler groups under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces. This is part of the attempts by Israel, the occupying power, to change the historical and legal status quo at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The OIC holds the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the consequences of the continuation of these systematic attacks, which provoke the feelings of Muslims worldwide and threaten security and stability in the region.
The OIC also calls on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities to put an end to these grave violations and to preserve the historical and legal status quo of Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Al-Quds.
