Hundreds of Palestinians tried to flock to
Al-Aqsa Mosque, but the Israeli occupation forces prevented them from entering,
and only 20,000 people performed the evening and Tarawih prayers, Al-Mamlaka TV
reported.
Israeli forces arrested over 450
worshippers during the incursion.
Foreign Ministry responseIn response to these events, Jordan’s
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates issued a warning, stating that the
continuous Israeli police attacks on worshipers and the attempts to alter the
historical and legal status quo of the Al-Aqsa Mosque represent a dangerous
escalation and a violation of international law.

The ministry's spokesperson, Sinan
Al-Majali, emphasized that Israel “bears full responsibility for the severe
consequences of this escalation”, which only serves to intensify the situation and
risks sparking further violence.
Majali called upon the international
community to assume its responsibilities and take immediate action to halt the
Israeli attacks on the holy site and protect the sacred rights of worshipers.
He further stressed that the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with its entire 144-dunum area, is
a place of worship exclusive to Muslims, and that the Jordanian Department of
Jerusalem Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs is the legal authority with sole
jurisdiction over the management of the mosque and its entry regulations.
The ministry's spokesperson confirmed the
continuation of intensive regional and international communication to halt
Israeli steps and warn against their consequences, which only serve to fuel
further tension and violence.
