The Arab League condemns the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli Minister of National Security

The General Secretariat of the League of Arab States strongly condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday by the extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and 270 settlers. They performed provocative Talmudic rituals in the mosque's courtyards under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

In a statement issued today by its Palestine and Occupied Arab Territories Sector, the Arab League also condemned the storming of the UNRWA Jerusalem Health Center by Israeli occupation forces and the issuance of closure orders. This move represents a continuation of the implementation of the illegal Israeli Knesset law prohibiting UNRWA's operations in the occupied Palestinian territories. This constitutes a flagrant violation of the UN General Assembly resolution regarding the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion on Israel's obligations towards UN organizations, including UNRWA, and deprives thousands of Palestinian refugees in East Jerusalem of vital services.
