RIYADH, Jul 19 (NNN-SPA) – Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, condemned Israel’s far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir’s visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, in East Jerusalem, and Israeli parliament’s approval of a proposal, rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Israel’s “continued hostile practices” against the Islamic holy sites, as well as, international resolutions and laws, reflect its “aggressive approach,” the ministry said in a statement.
It highlighted that, such practices “hinder any progress aimed at saving innocent blood and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.”
Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound yesterday morning, to warn against a possible deal with the Palestinian factions in Gaza, and calling for more military pressure.
Late on Wednesday, Israel’s parliament, or the Knesset, overwhelmingly passed a resolution that completely rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state, even as part of a negotiated settlement with Israel.
Also on Wednesday, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the targeting of Al-Razi School, which belongs to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, as well as, the targeting of the Attar area in Khan Yunis.
The ministry said, the attacks claimed the lives of dozens and injured hundreds of others, representing two new attacks in a series of repeated violations by the “Israeli war machine against defenseless civilians.”– NNN-SPA
