The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's condemnation and denunciation of the provocative practices carried out by an Israeli occupation official who stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid intensive security reinforcements of the Israeli occupation forces.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds the Israeli occupation forces fully responsible for the repercussions of the continuation of these violations and stresses its demand for the international community to assume its responsibilities to end the escalation of the Israeli occupation, provide the necessary protection to civilians and make all efforts to end this conflict," said the ministry in a statement.
