DOHA: The State of Qatar has condemned in the strongest terms the storming of Al Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli Minister of National Security under the protection of the occupation authorities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed, in a statement, that the repeated attempts to undermine the religious and historical status of Al-Aqsa Mosque are not only an attack on the Palestinians but on more than two billion Muslims around the world.
In this context, it also warned against the continued escalation policy adopted by the Israeli government in the occupied Palestinian territories, and its impact on expanding the circle of violence in the region and undermining efforts to achieve a two-state solution and comprehensive, just and sustainable peace.
The Ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, including the full right to practice their religious rituals without restrictions and to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
