Libya’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, calling it a “flagrant violation” of the holy site’s sanctity. The ministry also denounced the expulsion of worshippers from the mosque.
In an official statement, the ministry reiterated its firm rejection of what it described as “repeated Israeli violations” against Al-Aqsa Mosque, warning that such actions undermine religious freedoms and constitute an infringement on sacred sites.
The ministry also strongly condemned an Israeli strike on a facility belonging to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza, stating that the attack further exacerbates the humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged enclave.
Libya reaffirmed its stance against “Israel’s escalating aggression,” stressing that it has exceeded all legal and moral boundaries. The ministry urged the international community to take responsibility, act decisively to halt these violations of international law, and hold Israel accountable.
The statement concluded by reiterating Libya’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, including their right to establish an independent state.
