The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the assault by Israeli occupation police on Christians and the restrictions placed on their access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on the occasion of “Holy Saturday.”

The official spokesperson for the ministry, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Qudah, reaffirmed the Kingdom’s condemnation and absolute rejection of Israel’s illegitimate restrictive measures against Christians and the prevention of their free access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to perform their religious rites. He emphasized that these actions coincide with repeated incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif in an attempt to impose new realities in the city of Jerusalem, including temporal and spatial division.
Ambassador Qudah called on the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities, to compel Israel to cease its violations against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, to respect the historical and legal status quo, to immediately end the Israeli aggression on Gaza and the dangerous escalation in the West Bank, and to uphold the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent, sovereign state on their national soil based on the two-state solution.
