Gov’t condemns Jewish settler attacks against Palestine’s holy sites

AMMAN — The government on Wednesday renewed its condemnation of violations committed by Jewish extremists against Al Aqsa Mosque and other places of worship in the occupied West Bank.

Government Spokesperson Mohammad Momani condemned the Jewish settlers’ forceful entry into Al Aqsa Mosque complex under the protection of Israeli security forces.

He also denounced the arson attack committed by Jewish settlers targeting Ali Bin Aby Taleb Mosque in Salfit governorate.

Describing the attacks as violations of international laws and all monotheistic religions, Momani urged Israel — as the occupying force of Palestinian territories — to safeguard the freedom of worship at holy sites and ensure that they are not desecrated.

Jordan, he added, will continue exerting all efforts to protect Muslim and Christian sites and lobby the international community to end all Israeli violations.
