The government of Maldives has strongly condemned the Israeli Police's forced entry into Al-Aqsa Mosque, their assault on Palestinian citizens praying there and the damage they have done to the holy mosque.

The statement issued by the government strongly condemned the Israeli attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque on Tuesday and reiterated the government and the Maldivian people's support for the Palestinian people's efforts to establish an independent and sovereign state. The statement also said that Maldives will continue to advocate on behalf of the Palestinian people in the international arena.

The statement also noted that the Israeli Police's actions are in violation of international law and UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. The government also noted that such actions undermine efforts to achieve a permanent solution to the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict and undermine efforts to establish peace and stability in the Middle East.

The Maldivian government's statement said that a permanent and peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict in Palestine would be achieved through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
