The UAE has strongly condemned Israel’s plan to transfer control of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron from Palestinian authorities to a Jewish religious council based in the Kiryat Arba settlement.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the move a serious violation of the historical and legal status quo at the holy site.
The UAE urged an immediate end to all unilateral and provocative actions that could escalate tensions in the occupied Palestinian territories and derail international peace efforts.
The Ministry also called on the global community to take responsibility in protecting religious sites and preserving their historical significance.
It reaffirmed the UAE’s support for regional and international initiatives aimed at advancing the peace process and upholding the two-state solution.
