Qatar expressed strong condemnation for the recent intrusion of Israeli extremists into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, denouncing it as a clear breach of international law and a disrespectful act towards millions of Muslims globally. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar emphasized that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a sacred place for Muslims, and any attempts to change its historical and legal status in Jerusalem are invalid under international law.
The ministry warned that such actions, accompanied by repeated provocations, could lead to increased violence and tensions in the region, jeopardizing efforts for peace and stability. Qatar urged the international community to intervene promptly and compel Israel to cease its violations against the Palestinian people and their religious sites, in compliance with relevant international resolutions.
In a firm stance supporting the Palestinian cause, Qatar reiterated its commitment to ending the occupation and enabling Palestinians to achieve their legitimate rights, including the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. The statement from Qatar followed an incident where settlers displayed Israeli flags at the Dome of the Rock and sang the national anthem, sparking tensions in the area.
