Saudi Arabia An exceptional meeting for Islamic cooperation discusses Israel's violations in Jerusalem

An extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation began in the city of Jeddah, western Saudi Arabia, to discuss the Israeli violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

An extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation was launched on Monday in the city of Jeddah, western Saudi Arabia, to discuss the Israeli violations at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The organization (comprising 57 countries) said in a statement that the extraordinary meeting of its Executive Committee is being held at the request of Indonesia, to discuss "the escalating Israeli violations of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque."

The organization's Secretary-General, Hussein Ibrahim Taha, said during the meeting: "The occupied Palestinian territory in general and the city of Jerusalem in particular is witnessing an unprecedented escalation in the pace of illegal Israeli measures and daily attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque."

He added: "I addressed several international actors and informed them of the organization's rejection and condemnation of the Israeli occupation's attempts to impose the temporal and spatial division of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque."

He stressed "the need to preserve the historical and legal status quo in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, as it is a place of worship purely for Muslims alone."

Israel usually denies accusations that it constantly faces of trying to change the historical status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque and impose a spatial and temporal division in it.

The Secretary-General of the organization called on all international actors to assume their responsibilities and engage in sponsoring a political path that leads to ending the Israeli occupation and embodying the establishment of the independent state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital.

And last Friday, the Israeli police stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem, which resulted in confrontations with the Palestinians, injuring 31 of them, two of them seriously.

For days, tension has prevailed in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Squares, as a result of Israeli incursions into the mosque, coinciding with the Jewish Passover, which ended last Thursday, after it lasted for a week.
