Ministry
Spokesperson Haitham Abu Al-Foul said the decision is “null and invalid” under
international law, which does not recognize Israel’s jurisdiction over the
Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, occupied in 1967.
The Israeli court
ruling is a “flagrant violation” of international legitimacy pertaining to
Jerusalem, including the
UN Security Council resolutions, all of which affirm
the need to preserve the status of the Holy City.
Abu Al-Foul warned
against continuing to allow extremists to storm Al-Aqsa. He asserted that the
Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam’s third holiest shrine, with its entire area of
144 dunums, is a place of worship for Muslims.
He said the
Jordanian-run Waqf, or endowments, and Al-Aqsa Affairs Administration in Jerusalem
are the exclusive legal authority competent to administer all the affairs of
the mosque and regulate access to it.
