AMMAN — Secretary General of the
Royal Committee for Jerusalem Affairs (RCJA) Abdullah Kanaan said Israel continues
its war crimes and daily apartheid policy against Palestinian people and the
occupied Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites, Jordan News Agency,
Petra, reported.

In a statement on Saturday, Kanaan noted that
Israeli “systematic” incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif are
intensifying, led and supervised by extremist Jewish religious organizations,
with the participation of thousands of settlers under protection of the Israeli
security services.
These attacks are carried out, under the false
pretext of holding Talmudic rituals, ultimately aimed to serve settlement
political interests that seek to Judaize Jerusalem, displace Jerusalemites,
change its Arab Islamic and Christian identity, he pointed out.
These serious incursions taking place in
Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem, which are carried out by Jewish settlers, under Israeli
authorities’ protection and approval, reflect apartheid practices, he noted.
To defy Israel’s escalation and continuous violation
against Jerusalemites and Islamic and Christian holy sites, and settlement
projects, RCJA affirms that the “painful global silence in the face of Israel’s
failure to implement international legitimacy resolutions directly threaten
Jerusalem’s historical status quo and increases crimes against defenseless
civilian Palestinians.”
In this regard, he said the holy city’s affairs and
situation were run through the Hashemite custodianship that is universally
supported, demanded, and necessary.
To make peace, he noted RCJA affirms His Majesty King
Abdullah II’s firm position calling for restoring the right of the Palestinian
people to self-determination and establishment of their state on their occupied
historical land, on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
