Malaysia Strongly Condemns Israeli Incursion Into Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 30 – Malaysia has strongly condemned the latest incursion into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem by more than 1,000 illegal Israeli settlers and senior regime officials, led by Israel’s National Security Minister, under the protection of occupying forces on September 28.

In an official statement released on Wednesday, September 30, the Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) stressed that these repeated incursions constitute a grave violation of international law, as well as the historical and legal status quo governing occupied East Jerusalem and Al-Haram Al-Sharif.

“These actions are not merely isolated provocations, but part of the Israeli Zionist regime’s ongoing efforts to alter the identity and character of Al-Aqsa Mosque and occupied East Jerusalem. Malaysia categorically rejects any such attempts and stresses that the sanctity of Al-Haram Al-Sharif and the religious rights of Muslim worshippers must be fully respected and upheld,” Wisma Putra stated.

Malaysia called on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), to take swift, concrete action to compel the Israeli regime to immediately halt such deliberate and flagrant violations and hold those responsible accountable.

Reaffirming its unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people, Malaysia reiterated its steadfast support for their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
