Jordan: No Israeli sovereignty over Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan affirmed on Sunday that Israel has no sovereignty over the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Noble Sanctuary (Al-Haram Al-Sharif).
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Noble Sanctuary by the so-called Israeli National Security Minister, the extremist criminal Itamar Ben-Gvir, today under the protection of the Israeli occupation police, according to the Jordanian News Agency (Petra).
In an official statement by the ministry's spokesperson, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Al-Qudah, the ministry described this incursion as a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, an unacceptable provocation, and a condemnable escalation. It stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Noble Sanctuary.
Al-Qudah reiterated that the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, with its entire area of 144 dunams, is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims. He emphasized that the Quds Awqaf Council and the Department of Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs, under Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs, and Holy Sites, is the sole legal authority responsible for managing the affairs of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Noble Sanctuary, including regulating entry.
Jordan absolutely rejects and strongly condemns the continued incursions by the extremist criminal minister Ben-Gvir and the facilitation by the Israeli occupation police of repeated raids by settlers into Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Noble Sanctuary. These actions constitute a blatant violation of the historical and legal status quo of the mosque and the sanctuary, an attempt to impose temporal and spatial division, and a desecration of its sanctity.
Al-Qudah warned of the consequences of these ongoing provocative and illegal violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Quds. He called on Israel, as the occupying power, to halt all provocative actions by the extremist minister Ben-Gvir, which reflect the continued extremist policies of the Israeli government aimed at escalating tensions, imposing unilateral measures in the occupied West Bank, and violating the sanctity of Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Quds.

Occupation kills 58 Palestinians since dawn
Gaza – Saba: Fifty-eight Palestinian civilians were martyred and dozens of others injured on Sunday in ongoing Israeli attacks on various areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn, according to medical, local, and media sources monitored by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba). Israeli enemy forces targeted aid distribution centers, neighborhoods, homes, and civilian gatherings across Gaza in what observers describe as part of a continuing genocide campaign since October 7, 2023. Seven Palestinians were martyred by Israeli enemy gunfire while waiting for aid in the southern Gaza Strip, and another was martyred after the Zionist army directly targeted al-Tineh aid center in northwest Rafah. Two Palestinians were martyred and others wounded in an Israeli enemy airstrike on humanitarian aid security personnel near the intelligence area in northwest Gaza City. Medical and civil defense teams recovered the bodies of 22 martyrs from al-Shuja'iya and al-Tuffah neighborhoods in eastern Gaza City, including five martyred in a new strike on a civilian gathering in al-Zaytoun neighborhood. Elsewhere, 20 Palestinians were martyred and 44 injured when Israeli enemy forces opened fire on crowds waiting for aid at two distribution points in central and southern Gaza. Among them were: 9 martyrs west of Rafah, 6 on Salah al-Din Street in central Wadi Gaza, and 5 in al-Sudaniyya in northern Gaza. Three civilians were also martyred in an Israeli airstrike on a gathering in Al-Shuja'iya neighborhood in Gaza City. Earlier in the day, two Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli occupation strike on al-Amal School in Khan Younis's Japanese neighborhood. Meanwhile, a staff member of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society was martyred and three others injured in an Israeli strike on the association's headquarters, which ignited a fire on the building's first floor. With U.S. and European support, Israeli occupation continues to wage a genocidal war on Gaza that has, to date, resulted in the martyrdom of 60,839 civilians—mostly women and children—and injured 149,588 others, according to a non-final tally. Thousands remain trapped under rubble or on roadways unreachable by rescue teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
