"We strongly condemn the provocative storming by the Israeli Minister of National Security of the Al-Aqsa Mosque together with extremist settlers and under the protection of the Israeli security forces," the Ministry's press release stated.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque holds immense religious and cultural importance for Muslims, and any actions that undermine its sanctity and historical status are met with serious concern by the international community. The Turkish Foreign Ministry called on zionist authorities to address these provocations responsibly and prevent further escalation of tensions in the region.
"We call on Israeli authorities to take necessary measures in a serious manner to restrain these provocations which violate the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and its historical status based on international law, and to prevent escalation of the tension," the statement added.
The raid by zionist minister on the Al-Aqsa Mosque has sparked significant reactions and concerns over the potential impact on the delicate religious and political situation in the region.
Türkiye's condemnation reflects the nation's commitment to protecting the rights and interests of Muslim worshippers at the holy site and their sensitivity to any actions that may jeopardize peace and stability in the area. (ILKHA)
