Ammon News - Jordan on Sunday condemned the ongoing Israeli violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif, the latest of which was allowing extremist settlers and a Knesset member to storm the compound, under the protection of Israeli police.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates’ spokesperson, Haitham Abu Alfoul, said in a statement that the extremists’ break-ins and provocation are a violation of the historical and legal status quo and international law.

He also stressed that Al-Aqsa Mosque, with its total area of 144 dunums, is purely a place of worship for Muslims and that the Jordanian-run Waqf (endowments) and al-Aqsa Affairs Administration in Jerusalem has the exclusive jurisdiction to run all the affairs of the holy site.

The spokesperson called on Israel, the occupying power, to stop practices and violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, respect its sanctity, halt measures aimed at altering the historical and legal status quo, and respect the Waqf and al-Aqsa Affairs Administration in Jerusalem.
