Morocco has condemned the incursion by an Israeli minister into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem.

Morocco “reiterates its total rejection of all unilateral actions aimed at undermining efforts to bring about peace,” the Moroccan Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

It called for maintaining the historical and legal status established in Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and avoiding all forms of escalation and provocation.

Earlier on Thursday, Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and hundreds of extremist settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, under the heavy protection of Israeli forces.
