Saudi Gazette reportRIYADH —

In an official statement released on Tuesday, the Kingdom condemned the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel’s Minister of National Security, carried out under the protection of Israeli police forces, and the subsequent expulsion of worshippers from the site.

The Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s firm denunciation of what it called continued and flagrant transgressions against the sanctity of one of Islam’s holiest sites.

The Kingdom also strongly condemned Israeli occupation forces for targeting a clinic affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

The statement expressed alarm over the ongoing targeting of UN agencies, humanitarian organizations, and aid workers operating in the Palestinian territories.

“The Kingdom categorically rejects any measures that undermine the historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites,” the statement said.

It called for urgent international action to protect UN institutions and their personnel, and to put an end to what it described as the Israeli “war machine,” which continues to operate with disregard for humanitarian values and established international norms.

The Foreign Ministry stressed the need for the international community to hold Israeli authorities accountable for their actions, warning that continued violations would erode the credibility of international law and hinder prospects for peace in the region.

“The failure of the international community to deter these violations threatens regional and international security and stability,” the statement added.
