AMMAN — The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday denounced the continued Israeli attacks against Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif, the latest of which was the break-in of the Israeli agriculture minister and several settlers earlier in the day.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Sufian Qudah warned against the consequences of the provocative practices that violate international laws and fuel tensions, according to a ministry statement.

Qudah called on Israel, as an occupying power, to immediately cease all its provocative practices on holy sites and respect its commitments to international law.

He also urged Israel to respect the authority of the Jerusalem Awqaf Department, in its capacity as the sole legal institution responsible for administrating all the affairs of Al Haram Al Sharif as stipulated in international law.

Also on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the terrorist attack that targeted a village in central Mali that resulted in the death of at least 95 people, including women and children.

Qudah, in a second ministry statement, expressed the Kingdom’s solidarity with the government and the people of Mali in facing terrorism and “blind violence that target the security, peace and stability of nations”.

The spokesperson also conveyed condolences over the loss of life, reiterating Jordan’s stance that rejects all types of violence and terrorism that target all without any consideration to religions and races.
