NNA - Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for Arab States Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli settlers’ storming of Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.
Albudaiwi underlined that the Israeli aggression during the holy month of Ramadan constitutes a dangerous escalation, flagrant violation of international law and relevant resolutions and the historical and legal status quo in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and its holy sites as well as a provocation to the feelings of Muslims worldwide.
The Secretary-General also called on the international community to immediately intervene to stop the Israeli violations and intensify efforts to push the peace process forward, stressing the GCC’s unaltered position, which places the Palestinian cause on top of its priorities and calls for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 border lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital. -----Saudi Press Agency (SPA)
