Ambassador Sufyan Al-Qudah, the official spokesperson for
the ministry, issued a stern warning against the ongoing efforts of Israeli
authorities to control the entry of worshippers into Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram
Al-Sharif. Qudah stressed the necessity of ensuring unhindered and free access
to the entire 144-dunam area of the mosque, underscoring its significance as a
sacred place of worship for Muslims.
Furthermore, Qudah reiterated Jordan's stance that Israel
holds no sovereignty over occupied East Jerusalem, hence lacking the authority
to impose restrictions on worshippers entering Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram
Al-Sharif. He emphasized that the administration of the Jerusalem Waqf and
Al-Aqsa Affairs Department, under the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic
Affairs, solely manages all affairs pertaining to Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram
Al-Sharif, including entry regulations.
The spokesperson firmly declared that such provocative
actions against Al-Aqsa Mosque constitute a blatant violation of international
law and disrupt the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its sacred
sites. He reiterated the call to the international community to fulfill its
responsibilities and put an end to Israel's continuous violations of
international law.
