The Government of the Republic of Maldives strongly condemns the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israeli officials and settlers under the protection of Israeli Occupation Forces. Such actions, including the restrictions on worshipers’ access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque constitute a blatant violation of international law and represent a deliberate provocation aimed at undermining the sanctity, legal status, and deeply rooted historical and religious significance of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Government of Maldives reiterates its call on the international community to take urgent and decisive measures to hold Israeli accountable for continuous gross human rights violations and its blatant disregard for the longstanding 'status quo' governing one of the holiest sites of the Islamic Ummah.
The Maldives reaffirms its unwavering support for the Palestinian people and calls for urgent international action to protect Islamic religious sites and uphold the legitimate rights of Palestinians.
