Saudi Arabia Urges Stronger Action Against Illicit Arms Trafficking

Saudi Arabia, alongside foreign ministers from Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Türkiye, has issued a strong condemnation of repeated incursions by Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. These actions, carried out under the protection of Israeli forces, are viewed as provocative and unacceptable.

“

These provocative and unacceptable actions are “a flagrant violation of international law, the relevant United Nations resolutions, and the historical and legal status quo at the holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem.”

The ministers explicitly denounced the raising of Israeli flags within the mosque's courtyards, labeling these acts as a "flagrant violation of international law, the relevant United Nations resolutions, and the historical and legal status quo at the holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem." They further slammed what they described as "continued and systematic violations and measures carried out by Israel, the occupying power, aimed at altering the historical, legal, and demographic character of occupied East Jerusalem."

Reaffirming their "categorical rejection of any attempts to alter the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem," the ministers stressed the importance of preserving the sanctity and status of its Islamic and Christian holy sites. They reiterated that the entire Al-Aqsa Mosque area is exclusively for Muslim worship and that the Jerusalem Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department holds exclusive jurisdiction over its administration.

The entire area of Al-Aqsa Mosque, which amounts to 144 dunams, is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims, and that the Jerusalem Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, affiliated with the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, is the legal entity with exclusive jurisdiction to administer its affairs.

The foreign ministers held Israeli authorities responsible for halting these escalatory actions, warning that such violations deepen tensions and undermine peace efforts. They called for an immediate cessation of these practices and reaffirmed their solidarity with the Palestinian people. The statement concluded by voicing support for all efforts aimed at ending the Israeli occupation and achieving a just, lasting peace based on the two-State solution.

The ministers underlined “their unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people and their steadfast support for the realization of their legitimate and inalienable national rights, foremost among them their right to self-determination and the realization of an independent and sovereign Palestinian State on the 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
