RABAT, July 18 (KUNA) — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Morocco rejected on Wednesday the recent claim by a senior Israeli official that Al-Aqsa Mosque is part of the Israeli territory.
“The Kingdom of Morocco, under HRH King Mohammad VI, denounces categorically such ungrounded claims and deems them an infringement on the Muslims’ third holiest sites and an encroachment on the relevant UN resolutions,” said a statement by the Ministry.
The statement noted that the claim, made by the legal advisor of the Israeli government, coincided with the an accelerated measures by the Israeli government to blur the Islamic identity of the holy city of Jerusalem in a bid to judaize it totally.
