Jordan, Egypt and Turkey condemn Jewish visit to Temple Mount in Tisha B’Av

A statement from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs He said: “The Israeli security forces have once again violated the sanctity of al Haram al Sharif by allowing racist Jewish groups to assault the al Aqsa mosque, attacking Palestinian civilians who pray in the area and detaining Palestinian civilians, including children and women, leading to images that offend human dignity. “

“The continuation of such provocations, at a time when memories of the atmosphere of tension, escalation and conflict caused by the attacks of Israel to al Aqsa mosque in the holy month of Ramadan they are still fresh in our minds, it is extremely dangerous, ”the statement added.

The clashes at the site during the month of Ramadan in May, along with the issue of the pending eviction of several Palestinian families from the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, They led to Hamas to fire rockets towards Jerusalem, sparking 11 days of conflict between the Palestinian terrorist group and Israel.

Cairo also condemned “the renewed violations of the blessed Al-Aqsa mosque by Israeli extremists under the protection of Israeli forces, “said a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt.

The Temple mount It is the holiest place in Judaism, like the site of the two biblical temples. It is also the site of the third holiest shrine in Islam, the al Aqsa mosque, and it has long been a point of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

On Ramallah, the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, condemned what it considered “the dangerous and continuing Israeli escalation.”

“The Palestinian presidency … considers this to be a serious threat to security and stability, and a provocation to Palestinian sentiments, and holds the Israeli government responsible for this escalation,” the Israeli office said. Abbas it’s a statement.

The mission of the European Union to the Palestinians she said she was “concerned about the ongoing tensions.”

“The Israeli authorities, religious and community leaders from all sides must act urgently to defuse this explosive situation, ”the mission said in a tweet.

Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist group that governs Gaza, mocked the “herds of wayward settlers” who ascended the Temple Mount.

“That the occupation unleashes these herds of lost settlers does not reflect control or sovereignty, but rather is an attempt to cover up powerlessness and deficiency,” he said. Mohammad Hamadah, spokesperson for Hamas, it’s a statement.

The Palestinian terrorist group Islamic Jihad in Palestine He described the clashes as “terrorism and aggression that affects all Muslims in the world.”

Eager to reduce friction with the Muslim world, and since the rabbis ultra-orthodox generally advise not to go up to Temple mount for fear of stepping on the sacred ground where the Kodesh Hakodashim, Israel since 1967 has allowed the Waqf Jordanian maintain control over the site.

Jews have been allowed to visit under numerous restrictions, but not to pray.

But a report on Saturday said that Israel has quietly begun to allow Jewish prayers on the Mount in recent months, and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett He claimed that both Jews and Muslims have “freedom of worship” on the site, which could hint at a policy change.
