Kuwait condemns Al-Aqsa closure

Kuwait strongly condemned Israel’s closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and thus banning of Palestinian worshippers from performing Friday prayers, for the first time in around half a century. The Israeli measure “is a provocation of feelings of Muslims around the world, and a violation of religious freedom, and a continuation of Israel’s repeated and rejected attempts to change the status in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque,” a foreign ministry source said in a statement. — KUNA
