News - Middle East: Jordan has condemned the continued incursions by Israeli extremist settlers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied al-Quds, saying the provocative moves are a “blatant violation of international law.”

Sinan Majali, spokesperson for Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates made the remarks in a statement on Sunday, after hundreds of Israeli settlers, under heavy protection by the regime forces, broke into the holy site earlier in the day, Palestine’s official Wafa news agency reported. 
"The ongoing provocative practices against the holy al-Aqsa Mosque and the frequent escalations are a blatant and unacceptable violation of international law and the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its sanctities," Majali said.
He went on to say that Israeli attacks on Al-Aqsa as well as the regime’s raids across the occupied territories represent a “dangerous trend" that must be halted immediately.
The Jordanian spokesman further called on Israel as the "occupying power” to cease all practices and violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and "to respect its sanctity," reiterating that the holy site is an exclusive place of worship for Muslims.
