“Today’s meeting reflects the situation on occupied Jerusalem. We refuse to let it be violated in an attempt to strip it of its Arab, Islamic and Christian identity. The Arab Ministerial Committee is here on behalf of the Arab League to state our protest against any violation of Al-Aqsa. We are here to request peace and the end of violence, which is though respect of the historic and legal status of Jerusalem.”

“Israel is violating Palestinians right to access holy places and perform their religious rituals. Israel is violating Palestinians human rights and International humanitarian law.
