Qatar condemns storming Al Aqsa mosque courtyards by Jewish settlers

Qatar strongly condemned the storming of hundreds of settlers into the courtyards of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, as a flagrant violation of international law, and a provocation of the feelings of Muslims around the world. The Qatari Foreign Ministry warned, in a statement on Sunday evening, of the repercussions of repeated Israeli attempts to harm the religious and historical status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, calling on the international community to assume its moral and legal responsibilities towards Jerusalem and its holy sites. The Qatari Foreign Ministry reaffirmed 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 rites without restrictions, and the establishment of its independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital Source: Jordan News Agency
