The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey strongly condemned the provocative raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque by a member of the Israeli government. The written statement emphasized that this action was an unacceptable step aimed at deliberately escalating tensions in the region. The statement also stated that Israel’s decision to expand military operations in Gaza and continue illegal settlement activities in the West Bank was a reflection of its aggressive attitude that disregards international law.
The statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey included the following statements;
‘We condemn the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque today (2 April) by a member of the Israeli government. Netanyahu’s accomplices have taken a dangerous step aimed at further escalating tensions in the region.
Today’s statements by the Netanyahu government regarding the expansion of military operations in Gaza and the continuation of illegal settlement activities in the West Bank are yet another demonstration of Israel’s blatant disregard for international law and its complete detachment from the pursuit of peace.
The international community must take a firm stance to protect holy sites, prevent further provocations, and end Israel’s efforts to expand its territory through occupation.’
