Saudi Arabia yesterday warned of the ongoing violations of the historic status of Jerusalem after Israeli officials stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, the German news agency DPA reported.

“The ministry emphasises the importance of respecting religious sanctities and reiterates the kingdom’s warning of the consequences of continuing these violations of international law and the historical status of Jerusalem. These actions provoke millions of Muslims around the world, particularly in light of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe faced by the Palestinian people,” the statement said.
Saudi Arabia renewed its call for the international community to fulfil its responsibility to halt the ongoing Israeli violations of international law and related United Nations resolutions.
Over 2,000 Israelis, led by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, entered the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed prayers to mark the anniversary of the Temple’s destruction, an action described by an Islamic Waqf official as provocative.
