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.

Up to six settler groups have so far stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque, with 559 settlers counted thus far.
