The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared Thursday that the Israeli occupation government's decision to allow Israeli settlers to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque as of today is an official declaration of a religious war, warning that this situation will ignite the entire region.
In a statement, the foreign ministry strongly condemned "extremist" Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's decision to allow the storming of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, describing it as a blatant challenge to the international community and the Arab and Islamic worlds.

The Palestinian ministry considered the Israeli government's decision to be an official Israeli declaration of a religious war that will ignite the entire region, as it is an insistence on escalating the ongoing aggression against Palestinians and their sanctities, foremost of which is the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign concluded its statement by holding Bennett full and direct responsibility for the Israeli incursions, their risks and results on the confrontation arena.
