Al Azhar has strongly condemned the “barbaric behavior” committed by an extremist Israeli official when he stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
In a statement released on Tuesday 3/1/2023, Al Azhar stressed that these “provocative actions clearly reflect the barbarism of the Israeli occupation authority, and its attempt to impose a political reality by force of arms and change the historical identity of Al-Quds [East Jerusalem] and Al-Aqsa Mosque”.
The world’s top Sunni Muslim institution called on the international community to take decisive stances to stop Israel’s continued crimes, and protect religious sanctities and sacred places in Jerusalem and the entire occupied Palestinian territories.
