AMMAN, Jordan, July 1 (NNN-PETRA) – Jordan, on Sunday, condemned Israel’s opening of the so-called “Pilgrim Road” tunnel, that was dug from under the village of Silwan, to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Jordan said, such a decision is an irresponsible act, that will only increase tension, according to a statement by Sufian Qudah, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The official reaffirmed Jordan’s rejection of any attempt to alter the identity of the holy city, especially in Al Haram Al Sharif.
The move breaches international law and the international humanitarian law, as well as, the UNESCO resolutions, calling for a halt to all illegal Israeli diggings, in Jerusalem’s Old City, said the official.
The official urged the international community, to fully uphold its legal and political responsibilities, to stop these rejected practices.– NNN-PETRA
