Today, Thursday, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that Israel has no sovereignty over Jerusalem and the holy sites, rejecting all provocative actions practiced by the Israeli occupation state on the Temple Mount.

In a statement, the ministry condemned allowing a member of the Israeli government, members of the Knesset and extremists to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque, stressing its rejection of provocative actions under the protection of the Israeli police.

The Ministry warned of an exacerbation of the situation in light of allowing the provocative and escalatory march in occupied Jerusalem, stressing that Israel has no sovereignty over Jerusalem and the holy sites, and that East Jerusalem is an occupied Palestinian land.

The official spokesman for the ministry, Ambassador Sinan Majali, confirmed that the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by a member of the Israeli government and members of the Knesset, and the continued incursions of extremists and their provocative actions, which are carried out under the protection of the Israeli police, is a violation of the historical and legal status quo, and of international law.

He stressed that the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, with its entire area of 144 dunums, is a pure place of worship for Muslims, and that the Jordanian Department of Endowments for Jerusalem and the Affairs of the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is the legal authority with exclusive jurisdiction to manage the affairs of the Haram and regulate entry to it.

The official spokesman for the Ministry called on Israel, in its capacity as the occupying power, to desist from all practices and violations against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to respect its sanctity, stressing the need to stop all measures aimed at changing the historical and legal status quo, and to respect the authority of the Jerusalem Endowment Administration and the affairs of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
