- The Kingdom鈥檚 Foreign Ministry also condemned an Israeli parliament vote to oppose a Palestinian state
- Continuing and hostile practices toward Islamic sacred sites and international resolutions demonstrate the aggressive approach of Israeli authorities, ministry said
RIYADH: 抖阴短视频 condemned and rejected in the strongest terms on Thursday a visit made by Israel鈥檚 far-right national security minister to Jerusalem鈥檚 most sensitive holy site.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist settler leader, said he had gone up to the Jerusalem hilltop compound of Al-Aqsa Mosque to pray for the return of Israeli hostages on Thursday.
The Kingdom鈥檚 Foreign Ministry also condemned an Israeli parliament vote to oppose a Palestinian state.
The 120-member Knesset late on Wednesday passed by 68 votes to nine a resolution that said a Palestinian state on land occupied by Israel would 鈥減erpetuate the Israel-Palestinian conflict and destabilize the region.鈥�
These continuing and hostile practices toward Islamic sacred sites and international regulations and resolutions demonstrate the aggressive approach of Israeli authorities, the ministry said.
The ministry added that these practices prevent the achievement of any progress aimed at sparing the blood of innocent people and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.
Earlier on Thursday, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Ben-Gvir鈥檚 visit as a 鈥減rovocative intrusion鈥� that endangered the fragile status quo regarding the Jerusalem hilltop compound.
