Turkey condemns Israeli minister Ben-Gvir's Al-Aqsa raid
The Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik and Communications Director Burhanettin Duran also reacted harshly to the raid.
The Foreign Ministry condemned "in the strongest terms" the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli minister, accompanied by a "pro-extremist group", under the protection of Israeli security forces. In a written statement, the ministry said: "We condemn in the strongest terms the raid on Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli minister, accompanied by a pro-extremist group, under the protection of Israeli security forces."
It was noted that preventing the provocative actions and attempts to create fait accompli by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, which violate the historical and legal status of holy sites in Jerusalem, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque, which belongs exclusively to Muslims, is the common responsibility of the international community.
'WE CONDEMN THE DISRESPECT TOWARDS AL-AQSA MOSQUE' AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik, in a post on his social media account regarding the attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque, said: "We condemn the disrespect towards Al-Aqsa Mosque by one of the members of the genocide network headed by Netanyahu. Protecting the legal and historical status of Al-Aqsa Mosque is the responsibility of all humanity."
'NO ATTEMPT TARGETING AL-AQSA MOSQUE CAN BE ACCEPTED' Communications Director Burhanettin Duran, stating that he strongly condemns the provocative raid, said: "No attempt targeting the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque can be accepted.
Such unilateral steps by the genocidal Netanyahu government aimed at eroding the historical and legal status of Jerusalem further increase tensions in the region and harm hopes for lasting peace. As our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stated on every occasion, protecting the historical status of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque is not only a regional but a common responsibility of the international community.
Under the leadership of our President, as Turkey, we will continue to resolutely defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and the rights of Jerusalem based on international law." Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir had once again raided Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, accompanied by police protection and fanatical Jews.
