CAIRO, (PIC)-- The Arab parliamentary union has called on the world community to immediately act to bridle the Israeli attacks on the holy Aqsa mosque in occupied Jerusalem.
The APU said in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli attacks on the Aqsa mosque are in violation of international law and the fourth Geneva Convention.
It denounced the continued Israeli excavation under the Aqsa mosque and in its vicinity, and the restrictions imposed on Muslim worshippers. It also lashed out at the Israeli occupation authority for allowing Jewish fanatics to storm the holy site and hold parties inside it.
