Doha – October 8, 2025
The State of Qatar strongly condemns the storming of the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by the Israeli National Security Minister and settlers, considering it a flagrant violation of international law and a provocation to the feelings of Muslims around the world.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns against the continuation of such violations against the Palestinian people and their Islamic and Christian holy sites, and the resulting escalation of violence in the region. It also stresses the need for the international community to fulfill its moral and legal responsibilities toward Jerusalem and its holy sites.
The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar's firm position on the just Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, including their full right to practice religious rituals without restrictions and to establish an independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
