Lebanon's majority MPs urge UN to condemn Israel on al-Aqsa incident

A bloc of Lebanon's majority members of Parliament delivered a memorandum to UN coordinator on Friday, urging UN Secretary General to take necessary measures and condemn the "Israeli aggression" on al-Aqsa mosque, the local Now Lebanon News reported.

The memorandum, which was made by five MPs belonging to the majority Future Movement, was delivered to UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams during a demonstration on Friday. It was also delivered to Lebanon's caretaker PM Fouad Siniora.

The bloc said Williams has promised to submit the document to Ban Ki-moon on Friday morning, New York time.

The memorandum stresses the bloc's support for implementing all international resolutions, especially UN Security Council Resolution 194 related to the Palestinian right of return.

Clashes erupted on September 27 between Palestinians in the eastern part of Jerusalem and the Israeli police, as a group of Jewish radicals broke into the yard of al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest shrine to Muslims. About 16 Palestinians and several Israeli police were injured in the clashes, according to media reports.
