Jeddah: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's storming of the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the Israeli forces. It deemed such practices as a provocation for all Muslims' feelings and a flagrant violation of the relevant international resolutions.

In addition, OIC held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the consequences of such daily Israeli violations on Jerusalem City, its people and sacred places, calling on the international community to shoulder their responsibility towards ending these Israeli violations that would foment the religious conflict, extremism and instability in the region.
