Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned today the Israeli occupation authorities’ demolition of a stairway that leads to the historic Yusufia cemetery in occupied East Jerusalem.
The ministry held the Israeli government fully and directly responsible for this aggression and its repercussions, calling on the international community and relevant UN organizations, led by UNESCO and the Human Rights Council, to assume their political, legal and moral responsibilities towards these gross violations of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy.
The ministry stressed that these Israeli measures are aimed at changing the identity of the city of Jerusalem and its holy places, urging the international community and relevant UN organizations to take the necessary measures to stop these attacks on Christian and Muslim holy sites and to hold the perpetrators accountable.
