Saudi Arabia condemns far-right Israeli minister's 'storming' of Al-Aqsa compound

Saudi Arabia condemned on Wednesday a visit by Israel's far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, to the Al-Aqsa compound, a disputed area in occupied east Jerusalem home to Islam's third-holiest site that is also Judaism's holiest place.

Riyadh voiced its "condemnation of the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israeli officials and settlers under the protection of the occupation forces, reiterating its strongest condemnation of the continued attacks on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
