Riyadh, April 07 (QNA) - Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi on Tuesday strongly condemned an Israeli occupation minister's storming of the Al Aqsa Mosque compound.

In a statement, Al Budaiwi described Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's incursion of the holy site as a dangerous and provocative act that violates its sanctity and risks inflaming the sentiments of Muslims worldwide.

Al Budaiwi called for an immediate halt to these repeated violations and respect for the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its holy sites.

He reiterated the GCC's firm and unwavering support for all measures aimed at protecting Islamic holy sites, emphasizing that these violations undermine efforts to achieve calm and stability in the region. (QNA)
