Amman, June 2 (Petra) — Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed Al-Budaiwi strongly condemned the
continued incursions by extremist settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque
compound under the protection of Israeli forces and the raising of
Israeli flags within its courtyards.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Al-Budaiwi said such provocative
actions constitute a blatant violation of international law and
international legitimacy resolutions.
He reaffirmed the GCC states’ categorical rejection of all measures
undertaken by Israeli forces aimed at altering the historical and
legal status quo in Jerusalem and its Islamic holy sites, warning
that the continuation of such violations would fuel tensions and
instability in the region and undermine prospects for peace.
Al-Budaiwi also reiterated the GCC’s full solidarity with the
Palestinian people and its steadfast support for their legitimate
rights, foremost among them the establishment of an independent
Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as
its capital, in accordance with international resolutions and the
Arab Peace Initiative.
