The State of Qatar condemned in the strongest terms the storming of dozens of Israeli settlers of Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces and the storming of Al-Qibli prayer hall and the assault on worshipers and civilians in the mosque.
According to QNA the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned of Israel’s systematic attempts to change the religious and historical status of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It also held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for the cycle of violence that will result from the repeated storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the disregard for the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.
The Qatari Ministry urged the international community to take urgent action to stop the Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people.
The State of Kuwait also issued a strong “condemnation and denunciation” of Israel’s decision to allow extremists to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of government forces.
According to KUNA Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry in a statement described the act as part of a continuing trend of “serious violations” committed by the “Israeli occupational authority” which “constitute a flagrant violation of the international law and the Geneva Conventions stoke a spirit of violence and tension and threaten international peace and security.”
It went on to call on the United Nations Security Council to “assume its responsibilities to curb these violations and compel the occupying power to stop its attacks on the brotherly Palestinian people their land and their holy sites.”
Earlier Thursday dozens of Palestinian worshipers were injured after Israeli police forces violently stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem to clear the area for Jewish settlers’ break-ins that had been paused for the Muslim holidays.
The police forces fired rubber-coated bullets and teargas bombs injuring dozens of Palestinians. At least 12 live-shot injuries were reported.
Ten worshipers were detained during the attack including a French Muslim woman.
