The Arab League condemns Ben-Gvir's storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque

The General Secretariat of the League of Arab States strongly condemned the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque/Haram al-Sharif by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces. The League considered this a flagrant violation of international law, a dangerous escalation, and a provocation of Muslim sentiments worldwide.

In a statement issued by its Department of Palestine and the Occupied Arab Territories, the League affirmed that this behavior reflects an approach aimed at entrenching an illegal situation in occupied Jerusalem and imposing a fait accompli by force, in clear defiance of international law resolutions that affirm the invalidity of any change to the legal and historical status of the city.

The League stressed that these practices violate the provisions of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and constitute a violation of Security Council resolutions, especially 252, 476, and 2334, all of which affirm the illegality of Israeli actions in Jerusalem.
