Amman, September 27 (QNA) - Jordan on Sunday condemned the continued incursions by extremist settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque, including the latest incident earlier in the day, as well as what it described as provocative acts and inflammatory statements by extremist Israeli officials.

In a statement, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Fuad Majali reaffirmed his country's "absolute rejection and strong condemnation" of repeated settler incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque and the provocative practices accompanying them.

He described the actions as a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, marking an attempt to impose new realities at the compound through efforts to divide it temporally and spatially.

Majali stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over occupied Jerusalem or its holy sites.

Warning of the consequences of continued violations, provocations, and inflammatory statements, Majali urged the international community to take a firm position compelling Israel, as the occupying power, to halt the irresponsible practices and continued violations against Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

He also called for ending the illegal measures in the occupied West Bank and incitement against the Palestinian people.

Majali reiterated that Al-Aqsa Mosque, in its entire 144-dunum area, is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims.

He added that the Jerusalem Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, affiliated with Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Places, is the legally authorized body with exclusive jurisdiction over the administration of all affairs related to Al-Aqsa Mosque, including regulating access to the compound.
