In response to the resurgence of acts of violence, the iniquitous and unjustified use of force by the Israeli occupying forces against unarmed Palestinians, and the provocations and threats issued by the head of the Israeli Government to attack the Holy Places of Al-Quds al-Sharif and to authorize extremists to enter the precincts of the mosque, in violation of all religious values and of international conventions and custom, His Majesty King Mohammed VI (may God be with him), Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, strongly condemns these actions and denounces these threats.
