Ammon News - The Arab League on Sunday condemned the Israeli extremists' storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.

The Arab League Secretary-General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said that this move constitutes a new violation of the status quo, and represents a major provocation to the feelings of the Arab and Islamic nations, which leads to igniting the situation in the city of Jerusalem and other areas.

He said that storming the Al-Aqsa compound following the so-called "Flag March" is an irresponsible act aimed primarily at achieving internal gains on the Israeli arena and realizing the goals of the extreme right that seeks to abolish all Palestinian presence in occupied East Jerusalem and impose restrictions on worshipers at the Al Haram Al Sharif in order to achieve goals that have become known to all.

He urged influential forces globally and the international community in general to put pressure on Israel to stop these provocations that inflame religious sentiments, increase the level of tension, fuel the cycle of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories, and push towards religious confrontations with unimaginable consequences.
