Qatar’s Shura council condemns Israeli practices at Al-Aqsa
DOHA, Qatar – Qatar’s Shura Council has condemned Israeli attacks on worshippers inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem.
We express our “condemnation of the Israeli practices of storming the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacking Palestinian worshipers,” the advisory council stated.
It called for swift “international action to stop repeated Israeli attacks against the brotherly Palestinian people and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
Tension has mounted across the Palestinian territories since Friday April 15 when Israeli forces raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard and attacked worshippers, injuring hundreds.
Daily settler incursions into the area to celebrate the week-long Jewish Passover holiday have further inflamed the situation.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area the “Temple Mount,” claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. It annexed the entire city in 1980, in a move never recognized by the international community.
