Abu Dhabi's Foreign Ministry issued a statement "strongly condemning the invasion of extremist settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound under the protection of Israeli forces."
The kingdom reiterated the need "to provide comprehensive protection for the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to stop the dangerous and provocative violations [there], as well as to respect Jordan and the Waqf's role as guardians of the holy sites under international law and the historic status quo."
The UAE also urged against "infringing on the Waqf's management powers in Jerusalem and the affairs of the Al-Aqsa Mosque."
