JEDDAH, (PIC)-- The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, vigorously condemned the escalation of Israeli aggressions against Al-Aqsa Mosque.
In a press release on Wednesday, the Secretary General also denounced the imposition of a security cordon on the Mosque and the rising calls by Jewish extremist groups to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to hold Talmudic rituals.
Ihsanoglu condemned the continued Israeli attacks on Jerusalemites, wounding many in the confrontations around Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Secretary General pointedly said that the actions conducted by Israeli occupation forces embody the most direful spate of attacks targeting so far Al-Aqsa Mosque. He warned that the attacks seek to lay control over the Mosque and turn its compound into a venue for Jewish religious rites as a prelude to the construction of the alleged Temple.
The Secretary General called on the Muslim Ummah [Nation] to exert through the international community all possible forms of pressure on Israel to put an end to the attacks that could bear grievous ramifications in the event Islamic sanctuaries continue to suffer arbitrary aggressions and Muslim feelings are continually provoked.
Ihsanoglu called for international pressures to be exerted on Israel so that it refrains from committing violations against the occupied Palestinian territories, especially Al-Quds al-Sharif, and coerce it into compliance with the provisions of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
