Damascus, (ST) – Syria has renewed its condemnation of the repeated attacks by the Israeli settlers on Al-Aqsa Mosque. It expressed its condemnation of the international silence on the occupation’s crimes and the continued Western protection for it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement on Wednesday that Syria condemns the repeated attacks by the Israeli settlers against Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestinian worshipers under the protection of the occupation forces, and affirms that these attacks constitute a violation of the historical and legal status quo in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
