Ammon News - The Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites affirmed its "firm" rejection over the latest events in Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Quds Al-Sharif and Israeli forces' attacks to desecrate the holy city's sanctifies on Ramadan 14th.

The ministry, in a statement released Wednesday, said the heavily-armed occupation forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacked the defenseless Muslim worshipers with all kinds of torture, which is deemed a "dangerous" escalation, in a move aimed to snub all divine laws and human and moral rights.

In its statement, the ministry said Israel seeks to drag the region into an over-all religious war, referring to the Muslims' right to defend Jerusalem.

To protect Jerusalem, the ministry referred to the Hashemite custodianship that extends over the ages, noting support provided under international resolutions that recognized Muslims' exclusive right over Al-Aqsa Mosque / Al-Qudsi Al-Sharif, which has a 144 dunum area.

Referring to Israel's effort to to achieve time and space division of Jerusalem's Holy Mosque, the ministry noted this plan is "far-fetched" in terms of reason, belief and truth.
