The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, condemned continuing excavations by Israel in the surrounding and underneath Al-Aqsa Mosque, which led yesterday evening to the collapse of part of the street linking the center of Salwan Village to Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque, 700 meters away from Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Secretary General considered the continuation of the excavation a grave violation of International Law calling for a firm position from the international community and its institutions to deter Israel and prevent it from continuing such violations. The Secretary General also stressed that aggression against the place of the nocturnal journey of the Prophet -Peace be Upon Him- warns of serious repercussions, which requires united efforts by the Ummah to defend its sanctuaries subjected to violation and profanation.
The Secretary General sent a letter to UNESCO Director General on the matter and conducted a series of urgent calls with many international parties in order to put pressure on Israel to force it to stop ongoing excavations which endanger Al-Aqsa Mosque and jeopardize international peace and security.
