The UAE strongly condemns Israeli forces' storming of the Al Aqsa Mosque, which resulted in the injury of many civilians.
This is according to a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC).
The statement underlined the need for self-restraint and protection for worshippers.
It reaffirmed UAE's position and urged Israeli authorities to respect the right of Palestinians to practice their religious rites and halt any practices that violate the sanctity of the Al Aqsa Mosque.
Furthermore, the UAE also called to respect the custodial role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in accordance with international law and the historical context at hand and not to compromise the authority of the Jerusalem endowment that manages the affairs of Al Aqsa Mosque.
The UAE stressed the need to support all regional and international efforts to advance the peace process in the Middle East. It also underscored the need to end illegal Israeli practices that threaten the two-state solution and establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
