The General Secretariat of the Popular National Conference for Jerusalem condemned the brazen storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday by the extremist Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's so-called Minister of National Security.

The General Secretariat said: This behavior is likely to ignite a serious crisis in Jerusalem because these incursions offend Muslims' feelings and violate the sanctity of the mosque, which belongs exclusively to Muslims and is undisputed by anyone, by divine decree.

The General Secretariat said in a statement: "Ben Gvir and the extremist settlers who stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque live on air are fully aware that this move is provocative to the feelings of the people of Jerusalem who sacrifice their lives and souls for Al-Aqsa." The Secretariat stressed that this incursion constitutes a disregard for the feelings of the entire Islamic nation.

The General Secretariat called for urgent Arab, Islamic, and international action to prevent a recurrence of these incursions, which portend an outbreak of religious conflict in the region, with dire consequences for all Arab and Islamic peoples, as well as for Israeli society.

She said the Organization of Islamic Cooperation must take a firm stance in this regard, and that Arabs and Muslims must organize protests across all their countries to protest this unprecedented challenge to the feelings of more than two billion Muslims worldwide.
