Amman, June 22 (Petra) — Senator Ghazi Al-Muqaybel stated that any
steps aimed at altering the legal status of Jerusalem are null, void,
illegal, and lack any legitimacy, classifying such actions as a grave
violation of international law and relevant United Nations
resolutions.

Al-Muqaybel made the remarks during his participation alongside
Senator Omar Ayasrah, rapporteur of the Senate’s Media and National
Guidance Committee, at the 14th meeting of the Standing Committee on
Palestine within the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States
(PUIC). The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 20th PUIC
conference session hosted in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku, according
to a Senate statement released on Monday.

Al-Muqaybel emphasized that the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque/Haram al-Sharif,
encompassing its entire area of 144,000 square meters, is an
exclusive place of worship for Muslims. He affirmed that the
Jerusalem Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, which is
affiliated with the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and
Holy Places, serves as the sole legal and exclusive authority
responsible for managing, maintaining, and regulating access to the
holy site under the historic Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and
Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem.
