Dr. Nayef Falah Al-Hajraf, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), condemned the provocative practices carried out by an Israeli official by storming the courtyard of Al Aqsa Mosque. The GCC Secretary General expressed his regret for the practices of the Israeli occupation authorities that undermine international peace efforts and contradict international principles and norms in respect of religious sanctities. Additionally, the GCC Secretary General affirmed the firm position of the GCC to stand by the brotherly Palestinian people, and to support all efforts aimed at ending the occupation and reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause, enabling the Palestinian people to establish their independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
