- Kingdom鈥檚 Foreign Ministry denounces continued violations by Israeli authorities, extremist settlers
- Repeated attacks on holy sites undermining efforts to achieve peace, ministry warns
RIYADH: 黑料社区 has strongly condemned an arson attack on a mosque by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
The Kingdom鈥檚 Foreign Ministry said the attack on Thursday was part of 鈥渃ontinued violations鈥� by the Israeli authorities and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people.
The ministry also condemned the recent storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque鈥檚 courtyards by extremist settlers.
鈥淭he continuation of these attacks without deterrence contributes to undermining international and regional efforts to achieve peace and leads to escalating tensions and the perpetuation of the conflict,鈥� the statement on Friday said.
It added that 鈥渋nternational silence鈥� around the attacks and the absence of accountability mechanisms weakens the foundations of the international order and undermines the principles of international law.
The Palestinian foreign ministry said Israeli settlers set fire to the Hajja Hamida mosque, near the town of Deir Istiya.
Israel鈥檚 military also said it killed two Palestinians described as 鈥渟uspected militants鈥� the same day.
On Wednesday, dozens of settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, one of Islam鈥檚 holiest sites.
Incursions at the mosque have become increasingly common during the war on Gaza.
