The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement regarding the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel's far-right National Security Minister Ben-Gvir this morning.
"WE CONDEMN THE RAID ON AL-AQSA MOSQUE IN THE STRONGEST TERMS"
In the written statement from the ministry, it was emphasized that the security of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the preservation of Jerusalem's sacred identity is a primary responsibility not only for the region but for the common conscience of humanity. "The systematic provocations of the occupying Israel and the recent calls for annexation target the foundations of a two-state solution and deeply harm the hopes for peace," the statement said, adding that a call for an urgent ceasefire and the establishment of lasting peace based on a two-state solution was reiterated in response to Israel's ongoing destabilizing actions in Palestine and the region. The statement included, "We strongly condemn the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque today by some Israeli ministers under the protection of the Israeli police and with Israeli settler groups."
AK PARTY SPOKESPERSON ÇELİK: THE ATTACK ON AL-AQSA MOSQUE IS AN ATTACK ON ALL HUMAN VALUES
On the other hand, AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik also reacted to the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque. In a post on his social media account, Çelik stated, "We condemn the disrespect towards our sacred value, Al-Aqsa Mosque, by fanatic groups along with Israeli ministers. The attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque is an attack on all human values. The Netanyahu government poses a threat to all followers of religions. Humanity must act together against this threat."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Ben-Gvir had once again raided Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning. In the raid conducted with a group of Israelis who occupy Palestinian lands, "Talmudic rituals" were performed in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the pretext of commemorating the anniversary of the destruction of the 'Temple' according to Jewish belief (Tisha B'Av).
The raids by high-ranking Israeli officials on Al-Aqsa Mosque are carried out after receiving prior approval from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since taking office as Israel's National Security Minister at the end of 2022, Ben-Gvir has conducted multiple raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
