Turkiye conveys official condemnation of onslaught on Al Aqsa to Israel
ANKARA (AA) – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, in a telephone conversation with his Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen, has condemned the latest attacks by Israel.
Cavusoglu conveyed Ankara’s condemnation of provocations by Israeli security forces against the sanctity and status of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Israeli air strikes on Gaza and Lebanon and said: “It is unacceptable” to use violence against unarmed worshippers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The Turkish minister said there could be no excuse for violent acts by Israeli security forces and emphasized it should not be repeated and airstrikes should not be restarted.
Israeli police stated on Wednesday that it detained 350 Palestinians from the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in East Jerusalem, with witnesses saying they used excessive force, including tear gas and stun grenades.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and later annexed the entire city in 1980 — a move never recognized by the international community.
