The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has issued a stern condemnation of Israel’s ongoing violations in the occupied West Bank and the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. In a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Mofa), the UAE expressed deep concern over the repeated incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, provocations against worshippers, and attacks on a mosque in the Palestinian village of Kifl Hares. These actions, the UAE warned, risk escalating regional tensions and undermining stability. The Ministry emphasized the critical need to halt such dangerous and provocative practices, particularly in Al-Haram Al-Sharif, and called on Israeli authorities to take immediate steps to prevent further escalation. The UAE also reaffirmed its support for Jordan’s custodial role in safeguarding Jerusalem’s holy sites, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. Additionally, Mofa urged the international community to intensify efforts toward achieving a lasting and comprehensive peace based on a two-state solution, ensuring the Palestinian people’s right to an independent and sovereign state in line with international law.
