Royal Committee for Jerusalem Affairs (RCJA) Abdullah Kanaan said that Israeli
incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacks on unarmed worshippers represented
“brutal” scenes, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

This belligerence show Israel’s criminal practices
against the
Palestinian people and Jerusalem, in a manner that contradicts
values of human dignity and rights to worship and live in peace, Kanaan said.
In an interview with Petra on Saturday, he added
that these Israeli incursions and actions are a message to the free world that
Israel, “the occupying power,” is implementing de facto, racist apartheid laws
in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
This Israeli approach, he noted, is a direct threat
to the authority of international organizations that are supposed to be the
incubators of peace, law, and justice in the world.
Historical facts, Islamic documents, and all
resolutions issued by the UN and its affiliated organizations, including
UNESCO, affirm that Al-Aqsa Mosque/Haram Al-Sharif, belongs exclusively to
Muslims, he said.
Kanaan stressed that the Israeli dangerous measures
aim at tampering with Al-Aqsa Mosque and then demolishing its yards to
establish the alleged temple, which threatens international legitimacy and the
region’s security and peace.
In support and defense of the
Palestinian cause, the
RCJA affirms Jordan’s “firm position” and the historic custodianship over the
Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, he said, adding that the Kingdom
remain the supporter of Palestinian people and Jerusalem.
In this regard, Jordan supports the right of the
Palestinian people to self-determination and establishment of their Palestinian
state with East Jerusalem as its capital on the 1967 borders, he added.
Kanaan also called on Israel to end its actions
“immediately” and comply with international legitimacy, respect agreements, and
Jerusalem’s historic status quo and prevent its troops from entering Al-Aqsa
Mosque.
