Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght: Iran has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s latest desecration and attacks on the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) while calling for an urgent meeting of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to discuss the latest escalation.
In a statement on Tuesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Marzieh Afkham, “All countries in the world, particularly Islamic states, and international organizations, especially the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the United Nations, respond immediately to this illegal move by the occupying Zionist regime.”
Condemning desecration of Islamic sanctities, by the Zionist regime in recent days, she said, "the act of illegitimate and child killer Zionist regime to divide al-Aqsa Mosque for the worshippers by separation of the holy place in terms of space and timing of the prayers runs counter to international laws."
Afkham expressed Islamic Republic of Iran’s readiness to host an emergency meeting of the OIC in order to discuss the necessary measures to stop the Israeli regime’s Israeli attacks and desecration of the Islamic sanctities especially the
al-Aqsa Mosque.
The European Union has also expressed concern about an escalation of violence in the al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied East al-Quds, saying provocation could turn dangerous in the holy site.

European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said Tuesday that an escalation in violence in the holy site could further intensify ongoing clashes as both Muslims and Jews, who view the mosque as sacred, are marking important religious days.
“The reported violence and escalation (at the site) constitute a provocation and incitement” Kocijancic told reporters in Brussels, calling for “calm and restraint and full respect for the status quo of the holy sites.”
Over the past decades, the Israeli regime has tried to change the demographic makeup of al-Quds by constructing illegal settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.
Palestinians and Muslims all over the world are extremely angry at Israeli attacks on the al-Aqsa Mosque, considering them the desecration of the holy Islamic site. Palestinians have declared al-Quds as the capital of a future Palestinian independent state, and that its heritage should remain intact.
The al-Aqsa compound, which lies in the Israeli-occupied Old City of al-Quds, is a flashpoint. The mosque is Islam’s third-holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
