Cairo, Aug. 07, 2022, SPA -- Egypt condemned in the strongest terms the storming of the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by some Jewish settlers, a serious violation of the mosque's sanctity and a provocative act to Muslims' feelings. In a statement issued by its foreign ministry, Egypt underscored the need to the stoppage of any provocative act or taking any illegal measure, so that the historic and legal status of Al-Quds and its sanctities are preserved, calling for the provision of adequate protection of Muslim worshippers. -- SPA 00:16 LOCAL TIME 21:16 GMT 0001 www.spa.gov.sa/w1770814
