The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Republic of Yemen condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the storming of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque by groups of Israeli extremists. The Ministry also denounces the accompanying provocative practices carried out under the protection of the occupation forces, considering these actions a flagrant violation of international law and relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, as well as a direct provocation to the sentiments of Muslims worldwide.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirms that any unilateral measures aimed at altering the historical and legal status quo in the occupied city of Jerusalem and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque are null and void, and shall bear no legal consequence under international law.
Furthermore, the Ministry renews the Republic of Yemen’s call upon the international community to take urgent and effective action to compel the occupation authorities to cease their violations against the Palestinian people and their sanctities, and to comply with the relevant resolutions of international legitimacy.
The Republic of Yemen reiterates its steadfast and supportive stance toward the Palestinian cause, and reaffirms the inalienable, legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among which is the establishment of their independent state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
