Doha, ALRAY - Qatar has strongly condemned and denounced the Israeli occupation forces and settlers’ storming of the al-Aqsa Mosque, considering it a violation of the international law and a provocation to the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world.

In a statement on Monday, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that systematic Israeli attempts to change the historical and legal status quo of the al-Aqsa Mosque will lead to a destructive escalation and renewed ‘violence’.

It urged the international community to take urgent action to stop the repeated Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people.

The Ministry reiterated the firm position of the Qatari state on the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
