AhlulBayt News Agency: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned on Wednesday an Israeli flag march in Occupied Al-Quds to mark Israel’s occupation of the city in 1967.
In a statement, the Jeddah-based organization strongly denounced Israeli incursions “into Aqsa Mosque complex in East Al-Quds and allowing settlers to organize a provocative march” in the city.
“Al-Quds is the capital of the State of Palestine and is an integral part of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967,” the pan-Islamic grouping said.
“We reject any measures or decisions aimed at imposing Israel’s alleged sovereignty over this city and its holy sites as they are considered illegal,” it added.
Hundreds of extremist Jewish settlers escorted by police officers desecrated the Aqsa Mosque’s courtyards on Wednesday morning, amid tight restrictions on the entry of Muslim worshipers to the holy site.
According to local sources, over 700 settlers entered the Mosque in different groups through its Maghariba Gate and toured its courtyards.
