Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned an alleged attack by 'Israeli' police on Christians during Holy Fire Saturday celebrations in Jerusalem.
Ministry spokesperson Fouad Majali said the Kingdom strongly rejects what it described as unlawful 'Israeli' restrictions on Christian worshippers, calling for an end to measures that obstruct both Muslims and Christians from freely practicing religious rituals at their holy sites.
He stressed the need to respect the historic and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its holy sites, and reiterated that 'Israel' has no sovereignty over the city.
Majali also urged the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities, press for an end to violations affecting Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and support the rights of Palestinians to establish an independent, sovereign state based on a two-state solution.
