The Pakistani Foreign Ministry condemned on Sunday evening the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by settlers and Israeli police calling on the international community to take immediate action to protect the Palestinians from Israeli aggression.
The ministry confirmed in a statement that these Israeli attacks infringe on all humanitarian principles and human rights.
It stressed the Pakistani government’s solidarity with the Palestinian government and people in demanding their rights.
On Sunday morning hundreds of Jewish settlers stormed the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli police.
Settler groups had called for intensifying their incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque in large numbers on July 18 to mark the so-called “Anniversary of the destruction of the Temple.”
