JAKARTA - The Palestinian Presidency condemned the continued closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif gate by the Israeli occupation authorities against the worshipers, which prevented them from performing worship there during the month of Ramadan.
The presidency said this action was a serious violation of the historical and legal status of Al-Aqsa Mosque and other religious sites in occupied Jerusalem, launching WAFA (11/3).
The presidency warned that the occupation authorities should not take advantage of the current atmosphere of tension and escalation in the region to target Islamic and Christian religious sites, stressing that this is a clear violation of international law, which explicitly guarantees freedom of worship for believers in the Holy City.
The presidency also reiterated its full rejection of the provocative actions of the occupation in Al-Aqsa Mosque and against the worshippers.
The statement stressed the need to open the doors of Al-Aqsa Mosque and ensure unhindered access for worshippers, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan, and called for an end to the ongoing violations and illegal practices against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
The Presidency reiterated that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with its entire area of 144 dunams, is a special place of worship for Muslims, and stressed the importance of preserving the historical and legal status quo in Al-Haram Al-Sharif.
